... Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 NSPN Community,For those of us who are members of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT), you may have noticed in a recent mailing an acquisation of a 44 acre conservation easement in the middle section of Casco Bay. This easement will provide for day-use access to a planned trail system. The easement gift has also helped MCHT secure a purchase option on neighboring islands which happen to be popular with the NSPN community.You might consider joining MCHT to stay current with their plans and to help a very worthy organization which, in some cases, is helping the NSPN community to gain access to islands off the coast of Maine.Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzert Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks Warren, you reminded me to renew my annual donation. MCHT really is a great organization. I am considering putting together a camping trip this summer to Marshall Island, which is about a 10 mile paddle from Brooklin. Marshall Island is almost 1000 acres, with 10 miles of hiking trails. Camping is by reservation for a maximum of two nights. You can read more here. Barry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Barry,Yes, Marshall Island is a great place to visit. I paddled those waters for a 4 day / 3 night trip. If is helpful, just PM me and I can give you more info about places we can not talk about on this thread. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Barry:If you get out that way, it is definitely worth taking a day trip to visit Frenchboro.With the right route and timing with tide that 10 miles goes fast and conversely. <g>Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateHanson Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Marshall is indeed a great spot. One of my favorites in the area and fairly unique. I think someone told me it's the largest uninhabited island on the east coast? Maybe? Anyways, leaving from Stonington works well too. And Bass Harbor is another possible launch spot (though longer), taking you through some really great islands along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyork Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 And another one...I seem to recollect a large group stopping at High for bit to munch, before heading back to Muscle Ridge (Sept. 2012?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
