The park's 19 acres (7.7 ha) located at the northeast corner of 12-mile-long (19 km) Damariscotta Lake offer a sandy beach, swimming, canoeing, and picnicking facilities.^[4] The park was created in 1970 and, as of 2011, was one of Maine's most visited state parks. A group shelter that had stood for 33 years in the park before being destroyed by vandalism in 2009 was rebuilt and reopened 2011.^[3]
