Located on Ray's Point in Milbridge, Maine, the Black Duck Haven is a log style dwelling with wonderful views of Back Bay and Pinkham's Island.
Observations from this cottage offer visitors a unique perspective of the ever changing inter-tidal area. Eagles, ospreys, sea and puddle ducks, as well as many different shorebirds frequent the shore as the tide ebbs and flows, an unfolding of the wonderful day to day routine of nature's inhabitants.
Family and friends enjoy walking the diverse seashore along Ray's Point for a beach combing experience that is coastal Maine. Guests here also have the opportunity to harvest soft shell clams in front of the cottage for a great clam bake meal the whole family will love. Renters also enjoy the warm, cozy feel of the open cathedral great room and a crackling fire in the fieldstone fireplace.
This cottage is situated close to a number of pristine lakes and ponds with remote beaches which are great for fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking. These waters include Tunk Lake, Spring River Lake and Long Pond. If you're really adventurous and love to fish, we suggest hiking into the hills that surround these lakes and fishing for brook trout in Rainbow and Tilden Ponds. Mountain hikes, such the trails up Schoodic, Black and Caribou Mountains, are also located close by and give visitors terrific panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding lakes.
Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are and easy day trip as well. The national Park is just an hours drive away. You will want to be sure to include this area in your travel plans. Hiking, day adventures, whale watching, shopping and restaurants abound in Acadia. There's so much to do, you will want to plan a return trip to be sure you experience everything!
