This 94-acre town-owned park is the crown jewel of Kittery. Located on the mouth of the Piscataqua River, visitors see Whaleback Light, Wood Island Lifeboat Station, and the Isles of Shoals. The park offers picnic tables and grills, and a small pebble beach. A pier is available which provides excellent fishing opportunities, and the best scenic views. There is a separate launch area for kayakers. There is a 2.1-mile loop trail that starts at the main entrance and follows the shoreline until it loops back through the woods. During the busy summer month, the town does charge a fee.
