Join us as we journey to Monhegan Island - we explore the numerous trails and scenic spots. The island has a small village as well. In September we will avoid the crowds. We will be staying 2 nights.
You can enjoy Monhegan as a day trip experience if you'd like (wonderful boat ride but only 4 hrs on the island till the boat departures).
We are holding off on making lodging reservations until we get closer to the date and a better idea of weather, due to the merchants' cancellation policy. Lodging is mostly B&B and cottages.
NOTE: Closer to the date we will contact you regarding more details (see our accommodation plans below). You must book your own accommodations & boat trip on and off the island.

Roger and I booked a night in BoothBay @ Smugglers Cove (14th), 2 nights at Trailing Yew in an Annex (15th - 17th) and the Ferry out and back. PSYCHED!!! Mo ---Thanks for posting this adventure. Don.
Sorry, guys. Unplanned work issue is going to make taking additional time off during the middle/end of Sept a challenge. Hope someone else can take my spot. Looks like a great venue!!!
