Cobscook Bay

Cobscook Bay

Cobscook Bay is located in Washington County in the state of Maine. It opens into the Bay of Fundy immediately south of the city of Eastport and adjacent to Passamaquoddy Bay. In the 1930s, Cobscook Bay was part of the aborted Quoddy Project to generate electricity from its large tidal range (see Passamaquoddy Bay for more information).

Cobscook Bay is also the title of a song by The Mountain Goats from their EP Isopanisad Radio Hour.
