Warren Island State Park, island in the United States of America
Warren Island State Park is a wooded island in Penobscot Bay accessible only by boat. The roughly 70-acre park provides nine campsites and two Adirondack shelters for overnight stays, with about 1.5 miles of trails circling the island.
The island was donated to Maine by the town of Isleboro in 1959 and officially opened as a state park in 1967. Before that, farming families like the Warrens lived here, and later William Folwell purchased it and built a large log cabin.
The island bears the name of the Warren family who once farmed here. Visitors today experience the same quiet connection to the land that shaped life for those early inhabitants.
Visitors reach the island only by private boat or rental service from nearby harbors like Camden or Belfast. During the spring through fall season, guests should check tides and weather before departing and carry their own gear to campsites.
A small graveyard on the island holds the burial site of Mrs. Zilica, who died young and was laid to rest here, a quiet reminder of human history on this remote island. This connection between the past and present wilderness offers visitors a deeper sense of the long human ties to this place.
