Outlet shoppers may want to stop in Kittery to browse through the 120 or so outlets. In our opinion we’d rather stop in Freeport. On the way north a local summer landmark is Flo’s Hot Dogs, a shack on the right side of the road, a family owned business since 1959 selling steamed hot dogs, fl oshotdogs.com. The town of Ogunquit is a busy booming resort and art community with lots of shops and galleries. The Marginal Way, a mile-long footpath along the cliffs connecting Ogunquit with the tourist village of Perkins Cove (very crowded on summer weekends), should not be missed.

In early June 2012 members of the Schoodic Riverkeepers advanced the Passamaquoddy river restoration e"ort with a 100-mile sacred run up the St. Croix River, a run that mirrored the annual trek of native alewives. !e route extended from Pleasant Point, near Eastport, to Mud Lake Stream, a 4,000-year-old ancestral #shing site for the Passamaquoddy at the head of Spednic Lake.
