About

Town Landing is a boat launch in Maine, about 4.5 miles from the town of Machias. It serves as a put-in for getting out on the water in this corner of the state. Summer is the most comfortable time to launch. At the nearby Jonesboro weather station, typical July and August highs average about 76°F with lows in the mid-50s, and August and September see fewer wet days than most months. The landing sits close to several short hikes, making it easy to pair a day on the water with time on foot. Red Trail is about 2.7 miles away, Second Woods Trail and Blue Trail are each about 2.9 miles off, and Meserve Head Trail lies roughly 3.2 miles away.
