Milbridge

Milbridge is located on Narraguagus Bay and is the heart of wild blueberry country. The town is home to Jasper Wyman & Son, the nation’s leading grower, packer and marketer of wild blueberries. You can fish or picnic in Riverside Park, and you can view a rustic railroad bridge, cable pool and rapids from the Narraguagus River Dam. The town was once known for shipbuilding and today you can learn about times past at the Milbridge Historical Society Museum.
