Take a Walk on the Waterfront
A gazebo is one of several improvements to
Bucksport’s waterfront. |
Bucksport’s
Penobscot River waterfront is as exciting as ever.
The walk along the
waterfront, complete with lamps and lighting, is one of its best and
newest features.
The town has
created an attractive and useful public dock for boaters. But
tourists who do not have a boat may still be able to go on a river
cruise—once the Roxy Leigh berths at the public dock starting in
July. That will happen on Thursdays through Sundays.
A fisherman’s pier
is being contemplated by town councilors, too. That will provide a
safe and attractive place for those who engage in evening sport
fishing.
Across the water,
there is the boat ramp in Verona in which Bucksport development
officials have taken an interest. Plans are under way to rebuild the
ramp in such a way that river currents that reverse with the tides
are tamed and boaters can get their craft in the water with a
minimum of risk.
