 any
interesting and enjoyable place can be found round the Calais area
as day trips. There are many lakes and rivers where you can find canoeing,
kayaking, powerboating and seaside beaches. There is deep sea and
freshwater fishing available, and hunting in season. Chartered tours
are available for those wishing to see puffins, seals or whales; most
seagoing tours are based out of Jonesport or Cutler. Well marked trails
for the hiker, birdwatcher or nature lover abound. There are many
homes on the National Register of Historic Places, Holmes Cottage
in Calais and Burnham Tavern (c1770) in Machais,
to name two. Lighthouses dot the coast including Whitlock's Light
just down the road. Calais is on the International border with New
Brunswick, Canada, where many attractions can be found. Below are
some of the attractions in our area. We hope you'll enjoy the best
Maine has to offer! |
