Lunch or Dinner on the patio- go early as this place gets busy for dinner- get the lobster dip- plenty to share with 3-4 people easily. * Update- not sure what is going on here at Cooks- two meals we have had lately have been a "miss" -But I still swear by the lobster dip and cold drinks on the patio with views that are amazing! ** another update- **due to work staff issues and getting food supplies Cooks Lobster and Ale House has closed for a couple of weeks and will open Labor Day weekend to a much smaller menu. So Please check website or Facebook page on open times.

You can also pick out your lobster in the pound and they will steam it for you- Picnic tables are available or bring a blanket to lay down on the lawn to enjoy your meal. The views to Potts Point and Bailey Island or the many islands off the coast of Casco Bay.

City/town information
Harpswell on the map looks like a letter H - you have one side that is Harpswell Neck ( also know at Rt 123 ) where you will find many easy hiking trails. Parking is limited so go early. You will most likely find the ocean at the end of the walk. Most are easy to medium. Then you will cross ( mountain rd ) to Harpswell Islands Rd- where you will Great Island, Orrs Island and Bailey Island. No ferry needed you can access these by bridges. But don't forget Cundys Harbor-a great fishing village with great views.

The many hiking trails - most end up with a view
Great hiking trials - where you Maybe see an eagle or perhaps a deer. But most trails will take you to a quiet area of the Ocean or cove. Bring your lunch- but please carry out your trash- please keep our trails clean.
