We are located on Great Wass Island, off Beals Island. In Jonesport, take the bridge to Beals. Take a left (past Bayview Takeout) on Bay View Drive. When you come to the causeway which leads to Great Wass Island follow the sign to DEI and take a right onto Black Duck Cove Rd. Stay on the Black Duck Cove Road until it turns to dirt, then continue for another mile. You will see a sign for DEI on your right. This is Wildflower Lane. Turn in and follow the road to DEI.
