Review:
Owned by the Nature Conservancy, Great Wass Island is an ecological gem located at the eastern-most landmass of Maine, jutting into the ocean where the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy meet. Great Wass Island is a great destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts and can be visited on a daytrip without having to use a boat – there is a causeway connecting the island to the mainland. There are three very scenic trails for you to explore, varying between 2.3 miles and 4.5 miles, but conditions can be quite challenging due to the terrain and you should allow more time than you would normally allocate to these short distances. Your exploration will show you some unique vegetation, beautiful coves, and pink granite cliffs.
