The Maine Island Trail is a 375-mile chain of over 180 coastal islands and sites along the coast of Maine. One third of trail sites are public, and two thirds are owned by private organizations and individuals who trust us to care for their lands and teach our members to Leave No Trace. The Maine Island Trail Association is a membership organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the wild islands of coastal Maine. Through twenty years of community-building, stewardship, and education, the organization has developed a model of sustainable recreation and created America's first recreational water trail. We believe that Maine's thousands of coastal islands are a national treasure and have built a community of educated island lovers and volunteer caretakers who agree.
