MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 5, 2021
Maine’s coastline ranges some 230 miles from Kittery to Lubec, as the crow flies, but an incredible 3,500 miles when every nook and cranny and 2,400 islands are accounted for between New Hampshire and New Brunswick. Most of Maine’s islands are remote and uninhabited, but a good many are accessible by public and private ferries, bridges and causeways. Make a visit offshore and you’ll be transported to “island time,” where the pace of life seems slower and more relaxed, just right for a few hours of recreation and leisure time. Here are a handful with great hiking trails worth some exploring this summer and fall. ~ Carey Kish
