I recently returned from a trip to Peaks Island, Maine. Peaks Island is a neighborhood in the city of Portland, Maine. It is located in the Casco Bay and is roughly two miles long and one mile wide. Peaks Island is the most populated island in the Casco Bay, with a winter population of approximately 850. In the summer months, however, the population swells to 4,000 or 5,000. The island lies approximately three miles from the coast and is accessible by a short 15-20 minute ferry ride on the Casco Bay Lines that delivers you to the Maine State Pier in the Portland Old Port area....This photo was taken on June 17, 2010. It was a rainy day and my ferry was approaching Portland. Photo By: Harmony Motter
