List of islands of Maine

This list primarily derives from the Maine Coastal Island Registry,^[1] a database of the 3166 coastal islands from the largest (Mount Desert Island) to the smallest islets and ledges exposed above mean high tide. Some notable inland freshwater islands, like Frye Island in Sebago Lake, have been included.

^ The Maine Coastal Island Registry is maintained by the Maine Department of Conservation. It originated in the 1970s as a means of identifying and cataloging private and public ownership of islands. The registry largely pre-dates conservation easements which often involve some degree of public use of private island property, as for the Maine Island Trail.
