Little Yarmouth Island Preserve

Harpswell Heritage Land Trust

Little Yarmouth Island Preserve consists of the southern half of Little Yarmouth Island at the entrance to Quahog Bay. It is one of a network of conserved islands in eastern Casco Bay, which serve as important habitat for birds and other animals and maintain the dramatic scenic views generations have enjoyed. The 13-acre preserve is open to the public to explore its beautiful shoreline. There are no trails or amenities.

Directions

Access is by water only. The closest place to put in the water is the Bethel Point Landing in Harpswell.
