Down East Maine
Cathance Shores and the surrounding region offer a range of special activities—from exploring the outdoors including hiking, whale and other wildlife watching, kayaking, fishing and birding to visiting historical points of interest, shopping, antiquing, enjoying local cuisine, rural retreats, and simply relaxing. And do not forget the Annual Blueberry Festival, a four-day event held each August in Machias, Maine. See web references when available for more information. There is much to see and do at Cathance Lake Maine and throughout the Down East Maine region.
