1 Big Sustainable Island

Community News

1 Big Sustainable Island is open to day visitors free of charge from sunrise to sunset.

Come and play...

...on the rope swing, walking paths, and hammocks. Pack a lunch and enjoy the view from Sunset Rock. Watch the loons, eagles, and osprey as they fish nearby.
Occasionally parts of the island are posted for private events. Look for signs for guidance. 1BSI is a proud member and supporter of the Annabessacook Lake Improvement Association. People who vacation on 1BSI are welcome to join the Annabessacook Lake community that visits the island during the day.
