Taking Route 1? Itās cute, but be ready for some stop-and-go action. Want to zip up faster? Hop on I-95ābut fair warning, Maine loves a toll booth! Either way, youāre cruising through Vacationland, so vibes are high.

⢠Restrooms: Composting toiletānothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

š„¾ The Hike
This isnāt a wild summit chaseāitās more of a peaceful stretch-your-legs stroll with ocean air and views of Casco Bay. Perfect after a long drive.
Wander the wooded path around the islandās edge, pop down to the rocky shoreline, or just pick a bench and soak it all in. Casco Bay is out there looking majestic!

Donāt miss the whimsical fairy house villageāyes, really. Channel your inner gnome and build your own little home using natures supplies. Itās charming, quirky, and totally Maine.

Thereās even a pet cemetery, part of the original island donation. The rest of the land is home to the Baxter School for the Deafāthank you for sharing this special spot š.
Hike Rating: 7.5/10 āļøā Easy, breezy, and packed with charm. A perfect leg-stretcher with personality!

š Feature Highlight
No waterfall here, but you will find coastal magic! The fairy village and the tide-washed rocky shoreline are the true stars of this trail. Bring your creativityāand maybe a pebble or two for your fairy home!
