Last snow of the year? Don’t count on it… The ski season lasts until April, and we usually see some flakes between now and then.

Twice daily the Penobscot rises and falls. Ten foot tidal range on average, up to 19 feet on new and full moons…

Not to be missed…

The starfish, shells, sea life, and coastal beauty at Maine’s Tidal Falls Preserve make this spot in Hancock a must-see. At low tide, the rocky shore fills with tide pools, each alive with color and movement. Bright orange, purple, and yellow starfish cling to the rocks, while tiny crabs, snails, mussels, and sea anemones hide in the cracks. From the wooden observation deck, you can watch it all up close. Time your trip for low tide to see the most sea life and catch the reversing falls, when Taunton Bay pushes back upstream in a dramatic shift. Seals often rest on the rocks, and osprey soar above, making this one of Maine’s most unique coastal spots.
