15. Cribstone Bridge, Bailey Island
Located on Harpswell Harbor, this well-paved, low angle boat launch is a great way to access the harbor during high tide. Parking is limited.
The Cribstone Bridge, built in 1927-28 is 1,150 feet long and spans the area known as Will’s Gut between Orr’s and Bailey Islands. The granite was brought in from local quarries and the open crib work allows for the ebb and flow of tides. Extensive repair work was completed in 2010. The bridge is recognized as an historic civil engineering landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
