Marshall Island Hike, Hancock County ***TRIP CANCELLED**

TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO POOR WEATHER.

Field Trip Description

Let a MCHT steward/naturalist show you the tidal pools, sand beaches, and nearly 11 miles of trails on this stellar island, Maine's largest undeveloped island. With its rocky shores and continual swell, Marshall has a rugged feeling that gives you a different sense of the coast. Plenty of mushroom potential!

Directions & Where to Meet

PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO THE ISLAND. We will meet at 9 a.m. at the Ringtown Cove dock on Marshall Island.

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 rough terrain.
