Description

Mt. Desert Island, positioned off the coast of Maine, is blessed with more than twenty-five lakes and forty streams, but most visitors to the island are attracted by its granite coast and never get to explore “the lake country.” The revised and expanded edition of this one-of-a-kind guide is designed to give visitors the tools they wish to get the most of this remarkable feature of Mt. Desert.  

In collaboration with students, graduates, and a professor from College of the Atlantic, writer and longtime island summer resident William Newlin offers tips on what lakes are best for activities like boating, swimming, fishing, mountaineering, biking, and picnicking and provides readers the specific details they’ll wish to benefit from their talk over with. Just where do you launch your kayak? Where are the most productive picnic rocks? What fish are to be had?  

Containing beautiful photos and illustrations, detailed, full-color maps, and informative sidebars that fill the reader in on interesting bits of natural history and local lore, this is an very important resource for vacationers and local adventurers alike.
