Jewell Island Kayak Expedition

This two-day trip is great for anyone with some kayaking and camping experience. The paddle to Jewell Island is roughly 8 to 10 miles, which is typically a comfortable amount of paddling in one day for a generally fit person who is comfortable spending a few hours at a time in a kayak. With its gorgeous rugged coastline, its extensive network of trails and its ample camping spots, the island is one of the best kayak camping destinations on the Maine Island Trail in southern Maine.
