Roque Bluffs State Park is home to 274 acres of sublime Downeast Maine landscape on Schoppee Point in the town of Roque Bluffs, 7 miles south of Machias as the crow, or perhaps more appropriately in this case, the seagull, flies. The park was established in 1969 using proceeds from a public bond to protect the property, and just last year, the state acquired Pond Cove Island right offshore, adding 50 acres to the park’s inventory. ~ Carey Kish
