The six cottages, which can’t be seen one from another, are located along approximately ½ mile of shoreline on the eastern shore of the lake. The family owns 2 miles of shorefront, so there is great privacy. The lake is 5 miles long and 2 miles wide and is spring fed. The sun sets across the lake, so the sunsets are spectacular, especially when you’re out in a canoe, and the lake surface is a sheet of gold and magenta.
Down the lake a bit from the last cottage is an eagle’s nest, where a pair of bald eagles raised two chicks last summer. You can view the nest easily from a canoe and often eagles are seen soaring over the lake, or perched in tall pine trees on the shore.
There are several families of loons that summer on Boyden Lake and these large birds with their haunting and eerie calls are seen daily in the waters off the cottages. Other birds sighted in our woods are woodpeckers, including the pileated; owls, hawks, kingfishers and hummingbirds in the flower gardens. Moose, deer, raccoons and rabbits are among the many animals that are observed in the area.
If you enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking there are many places to visit, including Shackford Head State Park in Eastport; the Moosehead Natl. Wildlife Refuge near Calais; Gleason’s Point Park and the Cobscook Bay State Park. A local outfitter rents out kayaks, canoes and bicycles and also takes out parties on eco-tours and fishing trips in Cobscook Bay.
From Eastport, one can go deep-sea fishing and whale-watching. The Sylvina Beal, a two-masted sailing vessel takes groups out on sight-seeing and sunset cruises and longer whale-watching trips. You can fish for mackerel off the Breakwater, walk along the sea wall and visit the Eastport Art Gallery and other shops along Water St. and have the best fish and chips dinner you’ve ever had at the Waco Diner. The Sardina Loca serves fine Mexican food and there are several other fine restaurants in the area. Visit Raye’s Mustard Mill and watch mustard being made in the only stone ground mill left in the U.S. Sample the 15 different types of mustard and shop in the Pantry Store, stocked with mostly Maine made crafts and foods. There is an artists map available to enable you to visit artists at their studios. Near Eastport, at Pleasant Point, home to a branch of the Passamaquoddy Indians, there is a fascinating museum with examples of Indian art, artifacts and history. Beautifully crafted ash and sweet grass baskets are available at the Point.
Eastport is a working port, home to many draggers, who fish for scallops and sea urchins. From the new pier at Estes Head, wood pulp and other products are shipped to counties around the world. In the waters of Cobscook Bay, salmon are pen raised. During the summer, many people come by sailboat and yacht to visit Eastport, enjoying the beautiful scenery, the crisp breezes and the huge rise and fall of the tides (20 ft.). You can often see porpoises and seals and we have seen up to 12 eagles at one time on the shore below our house.
The FDR International Bridge connects Lubec with Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada, and ferries connect Eastport with Deer Island, Campobello and St. George on the Canadian mainland. Another ferry will take you from Black’s Harbor, NB to Grand Manan Island. There are many lighthouses to see and visit, including West Quoddy Head and the Sparkplug in Lubec; Mullholland Light and East Quoddy Head Light on Campobello and the Cherry Island Light in Head Harbor Passage.
On Campobello, you can visit the Franklin D. Roosevelt Park, run jointly by Canada and the United States. After you tour the home and grounds and information center, go out to the East side of the island to walk and picnic on the spectacular trails and beaches that are part of the park.
If you’re a golf enthusiast, there is a golf course on Campobello, one in Calais and a superb course at St. Andrews, NB.
