TOWN DESCRIPTION
Isle au Haut has a small but vibrant yearround
community, complete with a library,
a one-room school with students through
eighth grade, and a part-time grocery
store. Although it was originally part of
the town of Deer Isle, Isle au Haut became
a separate town in 1874, and now isn’t
even in the same county. Seven miles out
from Stonington, the island is accessible
by the Isle au Haut mail boat and by private
vessel.
More than half its land is taken up with
Acadia National Park, which permits
camping by reservation and day visitors.
The park features wooded hills and walks,
a quiet inlet on the Stonington side, and
open surf on the “wild” side of the island.
The first summer visitors arrived about
1880. According to the 2000 Census, 131
of the 164 houses on the island are for seasonal
or recreational use.
