"Not much goes on in Arrowsic.”
Thickly forested and sparsely populated, the inlet of Arrowsic is a quiet rural town in Maine’s Midcoast region. Sandwiched between the shipbuilding town of Bath and the tourist community of Georgetown, Arrowsic is a town of small lighthouses where people move when they want a country way of life near the water. “It’s a gateway to Georgetown,” says Julie A. Cromwell, owner of Cromwell Coastal Properties in nearby Woolwich. “It’s just a rural town – not much goes on in Arrowsic.”

Tons of acreage
Arrowsic’s roughly 500 residents live in homes spread out from each other on multiple acres of land. Houses like Cape Cods and post and beam structures came online in the 20th century. Some homes have river frontage and deepwater docks and sit in the woods engulfed by trees. Cape Cods from the late 1980s can cost $630,000, early 20th century homes with cathedral ceilings can go for $500,000, log cabins can cost $800,000, Cape-style houses with deepwater frontage can go for $500,000 and open concept post and beam wood houses on 19 acres can cost $830,000. “It’s close to everything, but away from the hubbub, so it’s great if people want something more rural,” says Cromwell.

19th-century lighthouses
In the 1890s, several lighthouses came online on the south end of Arrowsic because of a need for signals along the Kennebec River. Lighthouses, including the Squirrel Point Lighthouse, can be accessed by walking trails. The 23-ft. Doubling Point Light sits at the end of a boarded catwalk, and the twin Kennebec River Range Lights signal mariners around a turn. Squirrel Point connects to Bald Head Preserve, a bald eagle nesting ground and hiking area where the Kennebec and Back Rivers merge.

Let's go to the beach

Leaving the island
Arrowsic is rural and residential, so the island has no stores or restaurants. Shaw’s supermarket and big-box chains like Family Dollar sit on the other side of the bridge in Bath.

Neighbors drive into Bath for sandwiches at Burano’s Wood-Fired Pizza, coffee at Mae’s Café & Bakery and sesame chicken at Yum Mee Chinese Restaurant.

I would choose to live here again because it is on the water and by some beautiful lighthouses that I love to go and sit by and coplete homework/workouts. I also love how sucluded it is, you get the privacy that is needed. What I mean by that is you dont have your neighbor being able to see in your windows, but is in shouting distance for someone to hear you if something were to happen.
