Fox Farm

The Fox Farm, a former cultivated area where foxes were once raised ("farmed") for their pelts, is the first picnic site on the Cranberry Point Drive. Views include the town of Lubec and the black and white Channel Lighthouse, sometimes called the "Sparkplug." Access to the beach is easy.
At Cranberry Point, there are picnic facilities and a gravel beach; views include the southern portion of Campobello Island, Grand Manan Channel, and West Quoddy Head, a Maine State Park.
The Upper Duck Pond is really a salt water cove open to the ocean. Being sheltered, it is a favourite stopping place for migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. Islanders often dig soft-shelled clams here. A miniature estuary, possessing most of the features and vegetation of a larger typical estuary, opens into the cove.
