Blue Hill Harbor is quite large and full of classic boats. Because the harbor is safe, water recreation is one of the most enjoyable pastimes in Blue Hill, Maine. The ocean is relatively flat, due to its distance from the open Altantic Ocean.
The name, Blue Hill, came from Parson Jonathan Fisher after seeing the beautiful firs, pines and spruce that give the surrounding hills a dark blue color. East Blue Hill and Blue Hill Falls are villages located within teh greater Blue Hill area.
