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 Rentallocated 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.
