  "description": "The sister islands, shaped like a pair of spectacles as their name suggests, offer opportunities for swimming, blueberry picking, camping, and general exploration. Although the islands make up a small portion of the 1000+ acres protected by Midcoast Conservancy in the Damariscotta Lake Watershed, they are among the most popular.

The islands ate really nice - the one closer to the boat launch with the rope swings has more open space. It’s about a 10 minute paddle from the boat launch.  There was a decent grate for cooking over the campfire (we put our skillet on top of it) and there is a well maintained port o potty at the boat launch. "

Stop cutting tree roots that might stub your toe on and stop trampling and/or cutting small trees and bushes. Both islands have half the vegetation that used to have...in another 20 years they'll be practically barren."
