Peaks Island Land Preserve & Battery Steele
Peaks Island Land Preserve is a >150 acre parcel of land on the island, purchased in bits and pieces over the last 30 years with the intent of preserving much of the island from development. Their goal is conservation and stewardship of the island, keeping large spaces available for public use and enjoyment in perpetuity. Within the PILP is Battery Steele, a WWII relic. The Battery was a fort built in 1942 to protect the coast from naval attacks, and is a historical landmark. The fort is free to visit and explore: walking through the fort from one end to the other without a flashlight is also a Peaks Island rite of passage!
