Dennysville
Dennysville, settled in 1786 and
incorporated in 1818, lies along the bank of the picturesque Dennys River. The town is
steeped in a history of logging, shipbuilding, and small mills that took advantage of the
riverflow.
The Lincoln House
(1787) is on the
National Register of Historic Places. You can visit Soldiers Monument (1916), Old Dennysville Academy
(c 1846), the Congregational Church (1843), Lincoln Memorial Library (1913), and the old
cemetery. Or you can enjoy the architecture of old homes along the main street.
Spend
some time in a restored farmhouse, Hardscrabble
Farm Vacation Rental,
located
right along US Rt. 1.
The Dennys River
by Pat McCabe
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy
watching bald eagles and ospreys feeding in the Dennys River and observe other birds such
as kingfishers, loons, cormorants, and a variety of ducks. The Dennys River is one of six
Maine Rivers that is home to the Atlantic Salmon. Kayak in the protected waters of Dennys
Bay or enjoy a short trip down the Hardscrabble Stream. Start at the Route 1 bridge near
the Pembroke line and extend your trip into the bay to watch seals. You can canoe the
length of the picturesque river (seasonal) starting from Route 191 at Meddybemps Lake and
finishing above the waterfalls at the Route 86 bridge.
Other local events include an
Independence Day Parade, public suppers (monthly at the EDM Youth Center), a Memorial Day
service, and weekly Beano games. In the fall, you'll want
to stock up on a variety of cranberry foods at BRADSHAW'S
CRANBERRY FARM.
