The island is accessible via the public boat launch located on Route 173 in Liberty, Maine. You will be responsible for providing your own boat, it is about a 20 minute canoe or kayak paddle or a short motorboat ride, keep in mind there is a horsepower limit of 10hp on the pond. The island itself is two acres and heavily wooded with massive pine trees and smaller shrubs along the shoreline. There are three tents on the island; the first is a spacious sleeping tent with a queen bed, side tables, a small seating area, and some games and activities. Our second tent holds the kitchen with a gravity fed sink, counter, two burner propane stove, and kitchen wares. There is also a large dining table out front for you to enjoy meals under the stars. We provide 10 gallons of fresh water for drinking and cooking. The third tent is a privacy tent that holds the toilet, we use a groover bucket with compostable bags for waste. There is also an outdoor, gravity fed shower to rinse off. There are two fire pits, a grill for cooking, multiple seating areas to relax in, and a dock for easy access to the island or dipping your toes in the water on a warm day. Guests have access to the entire two acre island. The pond is also your front yard, so feel free to explore in your boat. There are plenty of little coves, inlets, and corners of the pond to check out. Quigg Island Preserve is also located on the pond, which hosts a few miles of trails and boasts spectacular views of the pond. Just like the island, it is only accessible by boat. What do you need to bring? - Boat to access the island - Clothing for all types of weather - Food - Additional water for longer visits Guest access You’ll have access to the entire two acre island and all the spaces therein. We operate under a Bring Your Own Boat policy, you must supply your own watercraft to access the island. There is a 10hp limit on the pond, kayaks and canoes are preferred. There are boat rental options nearby, reach out for details. Other things to note Be prepared for an experience in nature. While we supply some creature comforts, the majority of your time will be spent outside. Bring your favorite book, a pair of binoculars, and a good rain jacket. You will also be sharing the pond with others; there are no “walls” surrounding the island, so others who are paddling are able to peek into your “living space” from the water. We also ask the noise be kept to a minimum during quiet hours; sound travels shockingly well across the water. If you are looking for a space to gather a group, this is not the best fit.
