Very fair and reasonable adoption fees. I was honestly surprised. Buying a puppy from a breeder is…read moreso much money, and a lot of adoption centers charge high amounts for puppies too. We adopted our puppy Moose (formerly known as Royce) from P.A.W.S a couple months ago. Included in his adoption fee was rabies, microchip, neuter, and first vet visit. They also gave me a 15% off coupon to the Loyal Biscuit. My only complaint is: how they have things scheduled is hard for me because of my work Schedule. Friday's and Saturday's are the best days for me to be able to drive down and do everything I need to there, unfortunately, they don't do anything on those days and I have to try and take time off work to do those things. But over all, I had a great experience and we absolutely love our new family member.

Fort Knox in Penobscot, Maine is adjacent to the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. It is situated on the…read moreWestern side of the Penobscot River, with the views of the town of Bucksport directly across. Its a granite fort built between 1884 and 1869, and although it never saw any battles, it was used for training and it is well preserved. It's 125 acres so covers a lot of ground, and involves some walking, including stairs and small hills. While the history and the fort are amazing, this is also a place to see eagles and other birds and wildlife that flourish here. And lots of boat watching as well. We did see eagles! There is also a gift shop and restrooms available and staff are eager to share information and answer any questions. We spent almost 2 hours here exploring. Entrance to the fort and observatory for 2026 for 2 non resident adults was $22 ($11 each). You could also.just choose to pay for fort entrance which is less. Plenty of parking and the entire area is clean and well maintained.

Huge wooden boardwalk on the Kennebec with a trail. Wooded trail that extends beyond the boardwalk along the river and railroad tracks. Great place to walk dogs and have them swim in the river. The trail goes for a mile or less. There are gnome homes and fairy houses along the trail. It is really cool. Fantasy like. It is so wooded and magical right along the Kennebec river. Awesome little adventure. Great for kids.

I'm no stranger to parks and beautiful natural places, but Acadia is like a dreamscape. There's…read morestunning ocean views from crumbling gorgeous cliff sides. There are lakes, streams, ponds, scenic lighthouses, boats, bikes, trails, gardens, crazy hikes with vertical iron rungs, rolling forest hikes, lighthouses, and more! The main issue you'll run into is crowds.. lots of people want to come here, especially in July and August. Best thing to do, go in as early as possible, do some things, take a break, go back again after 3. If you're early, you can get a parking spot then work from there. If you are flexible on time, take advantage of the shuttles, but be warned, they may be full, and they don't run every 10-15 minutes, so plan accordingly. I would be in the park by 7, have plans maybe on a tour in Bar Harbor late morning or early afternoon, then head back after 4, and I got to all the must-do's, ie hiked the Beehive, the Bubbles, Cadillac Mountain sunrise and sunset (reserve this early as spots sell out, I booked mine 3 months in advance the minute they released and they were sold out shortly later, especially sunrise tickets), Jordan Pond and popovers, Bass Harbor Lighthouse, as well as some boat tours in the area, including very successful whale and puffin watching. For more hints and tips, I watched some YouTube videos, there's great info out there, especially the videos from Ash, a former park ranger, who has loads of helpful tips to get around and not spend your trip sitting in traffic or waiting in a parking spot.

Did we go in a wrong entrance or something?!…read more I was underwhelmed for sure. We walked a few trails and took some photos but ??? Im very glad we hit Cadillac Mountain - that's where it's at!!!

It's a nice…read morepark with the main fountain and multiple human-made waterfalls which you can get close to, but the water today at least was super cold and wakes you up. The very breezy wind caused the water to make it almost feel like it was raining. There are also a lot of trails which we did not take. We saw at least two larger groups having a picnic on the grounds and having a good time. The park provided two port-o-potties for bathroom use and the one I was in really needed to be emptied. Besides this, the park appeared to be well maintained. The park is not too exciting, but the water features upgrade the whole experience. A nice place to visit and picnic. Plenty of free parking.

It was interesting seeing how there was a gravel area (left side going uphill and then on the left side halfway up) and you could tell that someone lived there before the park was in existence. It's really cute driving by though. Stopping by isn't necessary.

A wonderful park right in Bangor City Center neighborhood that includes a playground, a full length…read morebasketball court, and a municipal swimming pool complete with zero entry, two large water slides and water sprinklers. The pool area has changed my rooms bathrooms and showers. There is a fee for residents and non residents which is $2 and $4 respectively. The pictures I took do the pool no justice as I took them in mid October so the pool was obviously dirty and hadn't been maintained since closing for the season. The playground has very new equipment and is clean and well maintained. There is a large grassy area nearby the basketball court for frisbee, running your dog or whatever you may like to do. The park is adjacent to the Mansfield Sports Complex which hosts the Senior League World Series each August. This park has it all a must visit for any parent and kids of all ages.
