Explore with us!
Swan Island is closed for the season! Visitors may continue to self-access the island and deposit the day use fee in the repository upon arrival.
Swan Island, at the head of Merrymeeting Bay, welcomes hikers, campers, birders, wildlife watchers, and explorers to its shores for an unforgettable Maine experience close to home!
Visitors can paddle to the island across the Kennebec River. Once on the Island you can begin your exploration or travel in our tour truck to the campground.
