From the highway at Kittery Maine just after crossing the bridge from N.H.  take Rte 103 east. This is a very winding Maine road through some very postcard like scenery. Head eastward to the Fort McClary State park. Make a donation please they do a wonderful job at maintaining the fort and grounds  and I imagine the winters are tough on  the entire fascility.
