The open field at the head of Mackerel Cove has been a Bailey Island landmark for generations. Overlooking one of Maine’s most scenic working harbors, Johnson Field Preserve, owned by Harpswell Heritage Land Trust, and the Mackerel Cove Lot, owned by the Town of Harpswell, offer visitors a place for family picnics, wintertime sledding, quiet moments of reflection, access to the beach and spectacular views.
