Exploring the shoreline of Great Wass Island offers an enjoyable paddle with plenty of wilderness scenery and great wildlife viewing opportunity. Great Wass Island is the largest island in the Great Wass Archipelago and offers over 1500 acres of nature preserve. The island also offers some great hiking trails. This trip starts from the launch on the north of the island and follows the eastern shoreline down to Cape Cove. The southernmost part of the island experiences a lot of fog so it is best to return the way you came before getting too far south.
