I hadn’t been to Fort Foster since I was a small child. We only live in the next town over but there is so much to do in Southern Maine, we never think of Fort Foster. Big mistake on our part! My husband, 2 year old son and I went on a hot and sunny day I couldn’t believe what I had been missing out on! Walking trails on the ocean, quiet beaches to relax on while the kids splash in the calm ocean, super cute playground for the little ones, charcoal grills with picnic tables, old fort buildings to explore, big field to play games in. It’s so beautiful and the $ 10/car fee is well worth the cost. I’m sad we waited until the very end of the summer to go. We’re already planning our family days there next summer. Definitely a great place to spend a day.

A new old fort Fort Foster wasn’t constructed until 1873 which makes it a whole lot newer than many of the other old forts in Maine. But like many forts, Foster had constant modifications and changes over the years. Guns were added and removed and lots of different buildings were destroyed or added. The fort manage to hang on until 1948 when it was finally decommissioned and the last guns were removed and all military equipment dismantled. The fort now serves as a great park. Lovely views of the water and even a lighthouse looming in the distance. Great scenery in every direction. The park still has some of the old gun mounts and abandoned buildings to crawl around on and some nice little hiking trails and a cool playground. The price is ten bucks per car during the summer but of course it is free in the off season. An impressive piece of history, the fort is a great place for a picnic, little hike or a place to enjoy some stunning Maine scenery.

Gorgeous setting overlooking a lighthouse, and the harbor that was dotted with boats. The Fort itself is interesting and you can explore inside of the fort/house that was built there. DEFINITELY worth a stop.

Came her a few months ago and the gate was closed. Went back yesterday to find some geocaches and found the most wonderful place. Huge plus is that we could bring the dog and she could go in the water. What a perfect day for the six of us for $ 10. We will be going back soon to cook out.
