CAMPOBELLO is a large Canadian island that protects the entrances to Cobscook and Passamaquoddy Bay, joined to the mainland by the International Bridge over Lubec Narrows. It is a lovely island, 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide, with hard-working fishing communities and the famous summer home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Friars Bay. His cottage has now become part of the Roosevelt-Campobello Island International Park (Canadian site) and can be reached by docking in the man-made harbor of Welshpool.
