Scenic bay with plenty of anchoring room. We appreciate being able to walk our dog on Snow Island. Wonderful spot to dinghy around and enjoy the shoreline.

Beautiful bay with tons of anchoring options; pick your spot based on draft and forecast winds for best protection. Holding is excellent in mud. Many spots to anchor between Snow and Little Snow, south of Little Snow, and in 8 feet MLW southeast of Bens Island.

Little Snow Island is a MITA camping site. You can land there to explore and walk the dog.

You can also dinghy to Safe Harbor Great Island. Consider renting one of their moorings to be a little closer (unfortunately, the moorings are very exposed to the south). Beautiful, friendly marina. Iris Eats has excellent food. Walmart in Brunswick will deliver provisions to the marina.

There is a free, on-demand pump out boat available thanks to the Quahog Bay Conservancy on Snow Island. Call or text 207-522-1105 for info. https://quahogbay.org

This is a great anchorage beautiful, with great holding. There are many inlets. Great for kayaking or paddle boarding. There is a boatworks Marina close by. We dinghy'd in and had lunch at Iris Eats Maine Restaurant. It's only open until 2, I think Wed thru Sunday. Check their website. It much else as far as provisions close by.
