Mount Desert Island Preserves

In the Mount Desert Island region, where we got our start, MCHT owns and cares for several off-the-beaten-path preserves open to the public. Kittredge Brook Forest offers miles of trails in the heart of the MDI, while offshore islands like Marshall Island and Black Island are wild and remote.
