View of Back Cove, New Harbor, Maine with fish shacks and lobster traps on the right and numerous small pleasure craft as well as lobster boats moored in the harbor. Back Cove, a southwesterly arm of New Harbor, is used by local pleasure and fishing craft. A dredged channel leads to an anchorage basin that extends to near the head of the cove. In 2003, the controlling depth was 5.0 feet in the channel and 4.5 feet in the basin with severe shoaling along the edges. The channel and basin are subject to shoaling, particularly along the edges. There are a number of private and fish piers, but no facilities.
