Field Trip Description
Join MCHT staff to walk the new trail on Malaga Island, a 42-acre island preserve at the mouth of the New Meadows River. We'll explore Malaga's forest and shoreline, and discuss its cultural history while having lunch on the beach.
Directions & Where to Meet
PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO THE ISLAND. Meet MCHT staff at the small beach on the north end of the island at 10 a. m.(see Map 6, D-4 in the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer).
What to Bring & What to Expect
Participants should bring good walking shoes (not sandals), extra layers of clothing (examples: wind breaker, rain jacket, fleece), water, food, sun screen, insect repellent, and a hat. In addition, you are encouraged to bring a camera, binoculars, and field guides. Participants should expect easy to moderately difficult trails that will include inclines, uneven footing, and some rough terrain. Poison ivy is abundant on parts of the island; long pants and enclosed footwear are recommended.
