Frazer Point Picnic Area
This shows Winter Harbor, Maine in
the distance as viewed from Frazer Point near the entrance to the Schoodic
Peninsula section of Acadia National Park. Frazer Point provides
parking, a picnic area, public toilets, and a 40-foot pier with a 20'
x 20' floating dock for public use.
For thousands of years, this was the location of an Indian summer
campsite. It is named after African-American Thomas Frazer, the area's
first non-Indian settler. In the Gouldsboro census
of 1790, Thomas is listed as being settled here where he established
and operated a Salt Works company to sell salt to passing ships. At
that time, Frazer Point and the rest of Winter Harbor were part of
the municipality of Gouldsboro.
