About Penobscot Bay

Penobscot Bay is a channel of the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean in south focal Maine. The sound starts from the mouth of Maine's Penobscot River, downriver from Belfast. Penobscot Bay has numerous working waterfronts including Rockland, Rockport, and Stonington, and Belfast upriver. Penobscot Bay is between Muscongus Bay and Blue Hill Bay, only west of Acadia National Park. 11,000 years prior, toward the start of the Holocene age, the Gulf of Maine's ocean level fell as low as 180 feet 55 m underneath its present tallness. Penobscot Bay was then a continuation of Penobscot River that wound through an expansive swamp reaching out past present day Matinicus Island.Penobscot Bay and its main tributary, Penobscot River are named for the Penobscot Indian Nation, which has persistently possessed the zone for in excess of ten thousand years, angling, chasing and shellfish assembling in and around the inlet and stream. A piece of the Wabanaki Confederacy, the Penobscot Indian Nation's available reservation incorporates Indian Island, north of Orono, Maine, and every one of the islands of Penobscot River above it. Old stays of their campgrounds going back centuries have been found on the sound's shores and islands.
