​​​100-Acre Island Preserve is open to the public for paddling, hiking, picnicking, and overnight camping with prior permission. There are 3 campsites on the island: North End, Turtle Crossing, and Honeymoon Point that offer beautiful hemlock forests and views of the shore along the two mile trail that connects them. Please call the land trust at 207-594-5166 if you would like to reserve a site for overnight use - there is no cost to reserve a site. 

​

There is no public boat launch on Crawford Pond, so access to the island is limited to parking at Mic Mac Campground off Route 17 or personal permissions from private landowners on the pond. There may be fees to park and use the campground’s boat launch - we recommend calling in advance to ensure there is space. Fireworks are not permitted on the island due to fire risk. The easiest way to access the island is at Turtle Crossing - otherwise, be prepared for steep banks and rocky dismounts. 

Conservation History 
100-Acre Island Preserve was conserved in three parts in 1999 due to the generosity of three local families. Today, all but one acre of the island is in conservation!

Trails
The trail is generally level with short hollows and hummocks in sections. There are only a few steep inclines, most are low-grade over a long distance. Some parts of the trail border wetland and can become seasonably wet.
