Townsend Gut Swing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Opens every half-hour - don’t get caught having to wait , it takes a while!

Tip by

4.63 km

This is an impressive swing bridge that connects Southport Island to Boothbay Harbor. Maine has very few movable bridges and most of them are very small. This swing bridge however is among the largest in the state.

Boothbay Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

Boothbay Harbor is a charming coastal town that can feel sleepy at times, and crowded during the summer. There's great cafes & restaurants, art galleries, and, if you have time, boat rides to the surrounding islands.

Boothbay Craft Brewery, Tavern & RV Park

Highlight • Pub

In a rather unique pairing this brewery offers all the beer you can drink, a great farm-to-table restaurant, and an RV park. Whether you're staying overnight or just stopping in for a pint you'll feel welcomed and at home.

Deckers Cove

Highlight • Beach

A nice pretty little tree lined cove with a few residential properties lining the shore. The road is good here so you can make up some time and just admire the scenery as you whizz by.

School Pond

Highlight • Lake

This is a small picturesque pond that is outside Southport Central School and it really is quite pretty. There is also a general store nearby and some benches if you feel like some time off the bike.
