The Maine Island Trail is a 350-mile-long waterway along the coast of Maine that connects a series of islands and mainland sites available for day visits or overnight camping. The trail is operated by the Maine Island Trail Association, a non-profit organization based in Portland, Maine. Through partnerships with the State of Maine, as well as land trusts and generous private property owners, MITA ensures access to these sites for visitors in kayaks, sailboats, motorboats, and other watercraft.

The trail was established in 1988 and has since become the largest water trail in the United States. The trail begins in Portland, Maine and ends in Machias, Maine.
