The Butler Conservation Fund has announced the opening this week of its second large-scale project to provide outdoor recreation in wild and scenic locations in Maine, known as Cobscook Shores. The hope is that it might eventually draw some tourists away from heavily trafficked Acadia National Park. Encompassing 500 acres across a series of coastal parklands, Cobscook Shores is modest in size. But Carl Carlson, director of parklands for the Butler Conservation Fund says the shorefront properties are stunning and there are opportunities for hiking, biking, boating and skiing.
