New agreement will extend public access to north end of Rockland Harbor

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 3, 2021

As the city has grown into a tourism destination over the last two decades, public access to Rockland Harbor has largely been concentrated in the south end of the city. But that will soon change. The city, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, a private landowner and a non-profit organization have entered into an agreement that will allow for public access along the north end of the city’s harbor. The waterfront access agreement will also allow the city to extend an existing public trail along the harbor and preserve one of the city’s few remaining lime kilns.
