Broad Cove, Cobscook Bay State Park, Incoming Tide
Tidally influenced by nearby Bay Of Fundy, This cove tidal ranges are between 5 and 6.5 meters, based upon tidal predictions I have found, and it is completely empty during low tide. This video is made of two different time-lapse videos captured concurrently from our bay-side campsite at the state park. The first segment is of a wide-angle shot of Broad Cove looking towards the bay, and the other is a close up shot of the cove's bank. The real time duration of the flood tide was approximately 2.5 hours, on the morning of August 2, 2016.

Tidepool Tim's - Sandpipers migrating through Maine on Cobscook Bay
The migration of shorebirds like sandpipers and plovers along the coast of Maine is a sure sign of late summer!. Pipers by the thousands stage on Cobscook Bay - that is they stay here for a few weeks gorging themselves on invertebrates in the intertidal as a way to gain weight and energy. The energy is very much needed as sandpipers have been tagged here in the bay and then 2 days later been captured in coastal areas in South America! What an amazing flight. Tidepool Tim makes an early morning appearance on the beach September 1st to sneak along the incoming tide and observe these little birds feeding, preeening, and bathing in the salt water. See them skip across the cove in acrobatic flight as they come back to land at the tideline.

Snapshots from a weekend adventure which included: camping at Cobscook Bay State Park, hiking in the Cutler Public Land Reserve, enjoying a whale watch cruise out of Lubec (saw no whales, did see an eagle, seals, and harbor porpoises), enjoying a walk in Eastport, and visiting the St. Croix Island International Historic Site near Calais. A companion video, Where's Dennis?, offers more snapshots from our hike of the Bold Coast in the beautiful Cutler Public Land Reserve.

▶︎ Campsites with an ocean view, you can't beat that!
The easiest directions from the southern part of the state would be to drive north on I95 to Bangor, then take a right and go east until you run out of US soil. That is correct, this is some of the most eastern parts of the United States. A nearby state park holds the official title but we will chat about that later. On our way up, we counted over 30 licence plates from different states, plus another 4 provinces from Canada during this road trip. You would have thought the parents in the car were a couple kids every time we saw a new plate. There are even Apps you can download that help keep track while also providing trivia on each state. We truly live in the Vacation State and lots of people were trying to soak up what’s left of summer, including us.
This trip was our 3rd camping trip as a family and we spent 2 nights, 3 days away. We also brought our dog Baxter on this one but not because we 100% wanted to. Bax is what some would call high maintenance and he’s a hard one to find a sitter for on long weekends. Our dog Braddock on the other hand has a fan club but that doesn’t mean he’s less work. He’s just not 75lbs of pure muscle and is twice Baxter’s age. You might say we failed in some areas at training our pups over the years but we love em both, warts and all. So, we took a leap of faith now that we had a couple trips under our belt with the baby and added Baxter to the mix. Not only did it work out, but the monster was given an overall B for the weekend. He crushed it! You have to realize a B for Baxter is pretty much an A for other dogs. Bax is not much of cuddler but he snuggled up both nights in the tent. He looked peaceful all weekend and really seemed to love the experience. We underestimated this city dog for sure.
Either people have never heard of Cobscook Bay or they say it’s one of the best parks in Maine. With that in mind we had some high expectations before spending the weekend there. We chose August for this trip a while back because the weat...

Calais, Maine Waterfront: some of the highest tides in the world
Dan Daley films from Calais, Maine - Directly across the river is Saint Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada. The Saint Croix discharges into Passamaquoddy Bay, in the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides in the world.
The river is an estuary between Calais-St. Stephen and the river's mouth at Robbinston and St. Andrews. This tidal area extends for approximately 25 kilometers (15 miles) along this section and exhibits a tidal bore.
The Calais Waterfront Walkway is a one mile trail following the route of the former Maine Central Line to the heart of downtown Calais, Maine. This video features some very nice close ups of honeybees in the coastal roses.

▶︎ Paddlers Paradise!
Surrounded by water on 3 sides, this state park has a lot to offer. Well off the beaten track on the tidal backwater of Cobscook Bay, this park has a wide variety of sites to suit everyone’s style of camping. From full water and electrical RV hook-up sites, to tent-only camping loops, you can find your own camping bliss in this amazing park.
Each site comes with the standard picnic table and fire pit, but many have a shelter over the table as well. There are many pit-toilets scattered throughout, and the centralized bath house only offers inexpensive showers and sinks, no flush toilets however.
Additionally, there is a huge playground for the kids, as well as designated picnic sites complete with fire pit and picnic shelters. The campground loops wind around small headlands into the bay, so there are literally dozens of waterfront sites, but they are of course the most popular.
The bay is tidal, and has a HUGE tidal range, so opportunities for tide pooling, paddling, and other water sports just need a little planning ahead. Be sure to check out the reversing falls, just a 20 minute drive from the park. There is a nice boat ramp and picnic area just north of the park on the main road.
Calais is the nearest town, about 30 minutes away, and has all the you need while camping in the area.
