New Island Criteria

Generally speaking new islands and sites should be relatively wild, unimproved, with a spot suitable for either day use or camping. Contact us to talk about it!

OK, I think it’s a good match. What’s my next step?

Contact the office and speak with Program Director Brian Marcaurelle. He can talk with you about your island, share insights about recreational use in the region, and arrange a site visit. MITA will write a sample text and send it to you for approval. After all your questions have been answered and after MITA is clear on how you want to share your island, MITA will finalize text, charts, and any other communication about your island. It will appear in the next edition of the annual Guide to the Maine Island Trail.
