Swan Island — photo spot in 7 Swan Island Landing, Richmond, ME 04357, USA
Swan Island
Tidal island in the Kennebec River with salt marshes, mudflats, grasslands and an old farmstead — excellent for birdlife (eagles, osprey, waders), wide river vistas and intimate marsh detail. Best light is sunrise and golden hour when reflections and low-angle light sculpt the marsh; low tide reveals textures and shorebirds. Access is by private boat or seasonal public boat shuttle from Swan Island Landing; park at the landing and check seasonal ferry schedules. Expect insects in summer and cold
