One Big Sustainable Island

Community

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 who visit the island during the day.

1BSI hosts community groups such as school groups, scouts, and non-profit organizations. Contact us if your group is interested in a visit.
