Marshall Point Light
A small lighthouse at the tip of Port Clyde, linked to the shore by a wooden footbridge, famous as the spot where Forrest Gump ends his cross-country run in the film Forrest Gump.
Marshall Point Light was built in 1858 at the tip of the St. George peninsula in Port Clyde, and a white wooden footbridge connects the lighthouse to the shore. In the film Forrest Gump, Gump turns around here to end his cross-country run across America, making it a popular photo spot for fans. The keeper's house on land has been converted into a small lighthouse museum (open in summer), and the lawn is good for picnicking. It is about a 50-minute drive from Camden. It can be linked with the Olson House and the ferry to Monhegan Island as a day route. Admission is free.
