Stave Island

Five hundred acre Stave Island is on the western side of Gouldsboro, Maine in Frenchman Bay. (In the image above, it is the long island in the background.) Its eastern side has several sandy beach areas that provide good landing sites for boats. The western side has bold granite ledges that provide spectacular views of Mount Desert Island. Stave Island has been a popular destination for kayakers, sailers, and naturalists. It currently has a 45 acre preserve owned and operated by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust. (The photo was shot from Cadillac Mountain.)
