Northport
Northport is a town in Waldo County, settled in 1780 and incorporated on February 13, 1796 from Ducktrap Plantation, though Ducktrap Harbor, which it shares with Lincolnville, retains the original name.
In addition to its long coastline facing Islesboro on Penobscot Bay, the town has frontage on the three-mile long Pitcher Pond and all of its Knight Pond.
St. Clair Preserve in Northport protects nearly all of unspoiled Knight's Pond. The sanctuary, 304 acres of mixed forest, bogs, swamps and fields has been home to black bears, bobcats, fishers, foxes, and deer. Loons and raptors are also common. Ducktrap Mountain rises over 700 feet from the pond's edge. It is accessible by canoe and trails from the town landing on Knight's Pond Road.
The historic Bayside village, a community primarily of closely space summer cottages, lies off U.S. Route 1 near East Northport, just south of Belfast.
