Deer Point
A walk through this small nature park is always pleasant, and a great way to pass the time while waiting for the ferry to Campobello Island. Just a few feet offshore in the Western Passage, the Old Sow, the second-largest whirlpool in the world, is visible, but its intensity depends on the state of the tide---it is at its most dramatic three hours before high tide. The water is always highly active, though, and porpoises can often be seen.
