<\/p>\n

Knickercane Island is a very small island on the Barter Island Road that lies between Boothbay and Hodgdon Island. It was donated years ago by the Hodgdon’s as a park for the enjoyment of one and all. In the summer people use it for pic-nics.<\/p>\n

But, Spot and I like to visit it just to visit!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The island lies in the Back River, which is actually part of the Sheepscot \u00a0River. It is a tidal channel, and being so close to ocean is salt water. \u00a0It has many pines and spruce trees. \u00a0The ground is covered in sprills, \u00a0what Mainers call needles. \u00a0They give the ground a soft feel, and deaden sound.<\/p>\n

The ground beneath the trees has thick cushions of bright green moss.<\/p>\n

An island in a salty bay does not smell like the meadows on the river!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kickerbocker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tide was fairly high, but slack.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Seaweed<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The seaweed was moving gently in the water.<\/p>\n

Spot likes to wander the shore, but the tide was too high to get very far,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, even so, he loves to visit Knickercane, as do I!<\/p>\n

So, if you are in the Boothbay are, and want a bit of quiet from all of the summer’s goings on, \u00a0take the short trip to Knickercane Island. \u00a0Bring some lemonade, maybe a slice of blueberry cake, and enjoy this lovely place.<\/p>\n

You will be glad you did!<\/p>\n
