Why we Care
Rest, Explore, Discover
Whether Big Babson is your main destination or a scenic stop along a longer paddle through Maine’s storied Eggemoggin Reach, the island offers a beautiful spot to explore. The loop trail that follows the shoreline and winds through mature evergreen forest and fern meadows is a rewarding part of any coastal adventure.
Features
How to Get There
The closest public access point to reach Big Babson Island is the Naskeag Point town landing, approximately 1.2 miles east-southeast. Most visitors land on or anchor off the beach on the island’s eastern shore. From there, a steep footpath rises to the island’s meadows.
