Was really cool being able to see Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows bridge from the water. Wildlife was abundant, from Bald Eagles to Harbor and Gray seals. A special day on the water with my sister and her husband from Georgia, and what a great way to share the beautiful place I live in. I'll be going out on the boat with Capt. Jeff in the future. Awesome time!

As predicted, it turned out to be a Beautiful and calm night. We ended up watching the fireworks from shore. They contract out their crews so it may have been that something fell apart on that side for the night trip. Just be prepared that they may cancel for any reason. A local captain we met during the fireworks show in Camden surmised that there was likely something else besides the weather in their decision. Others in our party were committed to getting in a harbor tour so we ended up getting a day sail earlier in the day. It was a Beautiful day. Competent and friendly captain and crew. They did an excellent job of hosting the harbor tour. Absolutely Beautiful boat. Great way to spend some time on the water. Be prepared for alternative plans.

Captain Tap was skilled and capable and tour guide Pam was friendly and welcoming. Recommend a sun hat and sun glasses, but didn't need as many layers as we brought as the boat speed was fairly sedate, which allowed for great viewing of the beautiful homes along the way. Captain Tap even pointed out a harbor seal.

We had an awesome time with captain Sam for a morning fishing trip. 4 of us set out with Sam from…read moreBelfast harbor. We stayed in the bay and fished for mackerel, with some hope of stripers. The captain knew the waters well and we took a high speed trip down the coast, passing great scenery and a bald eagle on the way. We were catching fish within 30 minutes from launch, reeling in 4 and 5 fish at a time. Taking a break from the fish, we headed to a spot to look for seals...saw at least 6 in the water, and one sunning itself on the rocks. Back to fishing, Sam took us to a quiet cove. The lobster men were just finishing, and we found a huuuuuge school of mackerel feeding on the surface. Casting into the school, we could watch the mackerel chase the lures. On the trip back to Belfast we saw some porpoises and more great scenery. The trip exceeded expectations. Not the most luxurious boat, but super relaxed and family friendly. We loved it. It was the highlight of our trip to Maine.

The Good: *Very easy flat trail that's good for everyone, even kids. *Dog-friendly *Free! *Restrooms (see trail map for locations) *Adjacent to lots of food and shopping, if that's your jam. *You can connect to the Belfast Rail Trail to make it an even longer walk. *Picturesque views of the harbor, bay, and a working shipyard The Meh: *The trail is almost too easy and flat. You'll get your steps but not your cardio. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit difficult during certain days and seasons, but not impossible. Conclusion: Fantastic trail with great views and a must-see if you're visiting Belfast, Maine.

You can find the Belfast Harbor Walk at Front St, Belfast, ME 04915 - it basically extends from the…read moreBelfast Armistice Bridge along the shoreline to Heritage Park in the East. There's a small lot where you can park right at the Bridge, which allows for foot traffic across the Passagassawakeag River. If you park at that end, there's a portapotty conveniently located by the lot. We parked, crossed the river to get in sights of the river, then moved to the West across the Belfast Rail Trail - you're rewarded at the end with a small station, caboose and a car or two before turning around. Returning and going the other direction takes you into Belfast where you can experience a small New England town that's been there pretty much longer than the US has been around - the area is hilly which makes for some neat adjustments to the architecture - along Belfast Harbor are massive boat lifts and boats/ships of all sizes that are being worked on by the local marine establishments - this is an active harbor with lots to see, a local brewery or two and stuff you wouldn't normally experience as landlubbers. The whole like totaled up to around 6 miles with the Rail Trail, bridge, visit to the town plus a lookaround. Neat place.
