Maine Island Trail

The Maine Island Trail is a recreational water trail that spans the entire coast of Maine, connecting over 200 islands (having originally been thirty)[1] and mainland sites available for day visits or overnight camping.

Trail properties are owned by private landowners, conservation organizations, and federal, state and municipal agencies, all of whom make their land available to MITA members in exchange for Leave No Trace use and careful stewardship.

[4] All sites—many of which are concentrated between Casco Bay and Mount Desert Island—are accessible by personal watercraft, such as sea kayaks, sailboats or powerboats.

The Guidebook outlines basic paddling and boating safety guidelines, Leave No Trace principles, and comprehensive site descriptions.

The app includes photos, anchorage locations, an interactive National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) chart, launches and pumpouts.

There are 3,200 islands off the coast of Maine, [ 1 ] the largest being Mount Desert Island
