Passamaquoddy Bay

The Eastport municipal boat ramp provides all-tide access to Passamaquoddy Bay, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located at the mouth of the St. Croix River where it meets the Bay of Fundy, this ramp offers direct access to one of the region's most dynamic water bodies. The all-tide accessibility is particularly valuable given the bay's dramatic tidal range—Passamaquoddy Bay experiences some of the most extreme tidal fluctuations on the Atlantic coast.

Paddlers launching here can explore a rich historical and natural landscape. Nearby Saint Croix Island International Historic Site and Roosevelt Campobello International Park are within paddling range, offering cultural attractions alongside scenic water-based recreation. The bay is known for abundant marine life and rugged coastal beauty, though paddlers should be prepared for strong tidal currents and variable conditions typical of this Bay of Fundy inlet. Being situated at Maine's easternmost point, Eastport also serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding region, including day trips to nearby islands and the Canadian side of the border.
