Route description

SR 144 begins at the intersection of West Shore Road and Main Road in Westport Island. No signage for SR 144 is present at this location, though state-aid maintenance begins at this point. The route heads north along the ridge of the island through a mostly wooded area. Many small houses line the road through the island portion. The road also passes a fire department and a church. After about, the road curves to the west and crosses Back River at the Cowsegan Narrows. At this point, it enters the town of Wiscasset. SR 144 climbs Cushman Hill and comes to a T-intersection with Birch Point Road. The state route begins to be signed at this point and turns to the southwest heading through a cleared area lined with houses. At Ready Point Road and Old Ferry Road, SR 144 turns to the northwest and passes the side of Wiscasset Airport, crosses a railroad, and ends at US 1 adjacent to a used car dealership.
