The Rockland Harbor Trail is a public footpath of more than four miles along the historic waterfront of Rockland Harbor. The Harbor Trail connects the major waterfront points of interest including Snow Marine Park, Harbor Park, Rockland Fish Pier, Coast Guard Pier, Maine State Ferry Service Terminal, North End wharves, Marie H. Reed Memorial Park, and the 8/10th mile walk to Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. Take a close-up look at the working waterfront with its busy fishing and lobster boats, sailboats, and the nation's largest schooner fleet. Map available at http://www.therealmaine.com/maps.html
