Day Paddle to Malaga Island with SeaSpray Kayaking

We are stoked to partner with SeaSpray Kayaking to offer a daylong paddling trip to Malaga Island off of Phippsburg, ME. We'll kayak out to the island, enjoy a seaside lunch, walk the loop trail and get a history lesson from Danielle Arroyo of Maine Coast Heritage Trust. This is a great trip for first time kayakers and anyone interested in learning more about Maine history.

The 41-acre island located at the mouth of the New Meadows River off the coast of Phippsburg was once inhabited by a fishing community of Black, white and mix-raced people. A mixed-race community occupied the island’s north end from the mid 1800s to 1912 when the State forcibly removed them. Learn more here and join us on the trip!
