10 Things to do in Freeport That You Shouldn't Miss

September 24, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Local legend claims that Freeport was the birthplace of Maine, the decision to separate from Massachusetts having been made in a local tavern way back in 1789. Whether this is truth or folklore, Freeport has much more to offer, including South Freeport, a historic harbourfront village offering up a fresh catch every day. Nearby Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park and the Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary provide nature trails with scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean over the rocky shores of Maine.

Bradbury Mountain State Park

Reviewed By beckyp279

The trail is, like, 2 tenths-of-a-mile: a short shady hike through the woods until you get to a rocky outcrop with a pretty view. What's not to love? This is a great mountain for a beginning hiker, or anyone looking for a short easy-to-moderate hike. And though I didn't go in the fall, I'm sure the foliage is great!

Great experience doing the factory tour. Very friendly staff, good selection of treats, and interesting tour. You get some samples to try and the guide was very entertaining, and informative. Takes about an hour but it will be longer once you get out and shop your treat of choice.
