Perkins Island Details
Though the trails only total about half a mile round trip, the paths on Perkins Island are short and sweet. Easy to follow through the woods, visitors must first make their way to this preserved island by boat before being able to traverse or camp on the historical refuge. Signaling the mouth of the Kennebec River, the old lighthouse and outbuildings are worth the trip for photos and views. Though not open, visitors can explore the buildings and grounds or access the beach at low tide.
