The Cranberry Isles consists of Great
Cranberry, Little Cranberry, Sutton, Bear, and Baker Islands. It got its name
from the wild low-bush cranberries that grow throughout the islands
in the fall.
Great Cranberry Island is the largest of the Cranberry Isles off the
southern end of Maine's Mount Desert Island.
Access is by private boat or ferry service. Views from this island
of Acadia
National Park and Mount Desert Island are spectacular.
The most well-known village, Islesford,
is on Little Cranberry Island. Acadia National Park has a maritime
museum near the public dock there.
Check with local ferry services for availability and schedules.
