Roque Bluffs State Park is a state-operated, public recreation area on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the town of Roque Bluffs, Washington County, Maine.[3] The 274-acre (111 ha) state park overlooks Englishman Bay from Schoppee Point and includes 60-acre (24 ha) Simpson Pond and six miles of walking trails.[4] Visitors can inspect glacial striations attesting to the Ice Age history of the Maine coast.[5]
In the news
In July 2013, two women, one from nearby Machias and the other visiting from Pennsylvania, drowned after driving off a boat ramp in the park during high tide and inclement weather.[6] The women had been rescued earlier in the day after getting lost while hiking in the fog.[7]
