Greening Island
Greening Island sits quietly between Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor off the southern coast of Mount Desert Island, making it a great spot to drop anchor and take in the scenery. Once a treeless sheep farm, the island is now a private summer community with a surprisingly wooded character. You're right in the heart of things here — Acadia National Park frames the backdrop, and both harbor villages are just a short distance away by water.
