Ellisville Harbor is a unique coastal property,
including an 18th century farmstead, beachfront, salt marsh, rolling
meadows, and red pine forest. It's also one of the most scenic spots
on the South Shore coastline, where you can see small fishing boats,
a barrier beach, sphagnum bog, forested upland and open meadows.
Recreation activities include walking, bird watching, beach combing
and sightseeing. In fall and winter, harbor seals can often be seen
just off-shore.
Between 2,500 and 5,000 years ago, prehistoric
Native Americans hunted, fished, harvested shellfish and made tools
here. The park was once part of the Harlow family farmstead.
