Searsport is home to a small but scenic state park. Moose Point State Park is a day-use park that overlooks Penobscot Bay. It’s located off U.S. Route 1, near the Belfast town line.

The park covers just 146 acres. It was once the location of a dairy farm, with a house, barn, two silos, and sixty head of cattle. But today it’s become a scenic park area and it’s gorgeous.

The park has short hiking paths that skirt the ocean. This is not a place for an all-day hake, but it is a place where you can get a little exercise, take in a bit of rocky coastline, and see the sun rise.
