The Downeast Scenic Railroad provides visitors and locals alike with a chance to take a round-trip, 10-mile, scenic train ride on the region’s historic Calais Branch Line aboard a well-preserved, old-fashioned train. Departing from Ellsworth, the passenger train travels through beautiful natural scenery and many species of wildlife may be spotted along the trip, such as bears, beavers, foxes, snapping turtles, deer, moose, eagles, blue herons, and more. The slightly bumpy ride on the Downeast Scenic Railroad lasts around ninety minutes and passengers can choose to ride in an open-air car or covered car, depending on the weather.
