Property Highlights

The Subject Property is owned by Downeast Coastal Conservancy and consists of an approximately 55-acre parcel located on Denbow Neck in West Lubec. The northern extremity of the Subject Property encompasses Denbow Point, which juts into Cobscook Bay. The Subject Property is accessed by Straight Bay Road, which terminates near the center of the parcel. Remnants of an old mining road extend northward from the terminus of Straight Bay Road and onto Denbow Point, which contains the workings of an historic lead mine.

Former Use: The Subject Property consists of about 55-acres and is accessed by Straight Bay Road which terminates near the center of the parcel. Remnants of an old mining road extend northward from this terminus and onto Denbow Point at the northern end of the parcel. The majority of the Subject Property is wooded, and contains several low-lying, wet areas. The approximate central portion of the Subject Property is drained by a northwest-southeast trending unnamed stream. The Subject Property is currently undeveloped. Historical use of the Subject Property included a lead mine and remnants of mine operations including wharf pilings, rock excavations, and rock piles remain. The Subject Property was privately owned in the late 1700s, and early- to mid-1800s. Between around 1854 and 1885, a portion of the Subject Property referred to as Denbow Point was sold to a mining company. No information has been identified on the duration and specific nature of mining operations on Denbow Point.
