Journey From Kittery to Lubec on the Maine Island Trail

This organization is making Maine’s beautiful coast accessible to all. In this season 7 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 709), we are in Casco Bay, Maine to learn about the Maine Island Trail Association. The trail includes a series of islands stretching from Kittery to Lubec, perfect for short day trips or overnights. In this segment, we talk to MITA executive director Doug Welch to learn more about the organization and Zack Anchors of Portland Paddle, the company providing guiding services and rentals for those hoping to tackle the trail.
