Very peaceful, partially hidden by foliage. Excellent post industrial feature.

Isle au Haut Boat Services, a non-profit corporation, operates year-round passenger, mail and freight service between the Town of Stonington and Isle au Haut, as well as seasonal service to Acadia National Park's Duck Harbor Landing. The financial shortfall is covered by support from Isle au Haut Town, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Park Service and private donors. In 2024, the company will offer daily trips to Duck Harbor from mid-May to mid-October. http://www.isleauhaut.com/summerschedulerates.html

The island ‘Western Ear’ is located off the southwest tip of the ‘Isle au Haut’. At low tide you can walk across to the island and have a fantastic view of the western rocky coast. https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/maine/isle-au-haut-me/tides/

Western Ear is a solitary island that stands just out of reach across the water from Isle au Haut. The scenery of Isle au Haut is rugged, dramatic, and isolated, and no more so than here. To the east the Western Head Trail continues through the forest and along the beach, while the Cliff Trail ascends the rocky coastline to the west.

Like most of the Isle au Haut hiking trails, the Duck Harbor Mountain Trail is rugged and challenging. There are a number of excellent viewpoints, and this trail is an exception from the primarily coastal hikes on Isle au Haut. If you have time, continuing south along the Cliff Trail and Western Head Trail makes for a great loop! If you are pressed for time to catch the ferry the Western Head Road makes for a much faster run back to Duck Harbor.

The ferry into Duck Harbor Campground is available from mainland Stonington early June through early October and costs around $44 round trip. The campground is your last place for amenities and water if you are running south! Outside of summer months the ferry runs only to the town on the north side of Isle au Haut and you will have to find their own way into the park. More information on the ferry: isleauhaut.com

Beech Hill can be reached via Beech Hill Trail from either direction and done as an out-and-back or loop run. The summit is an open hill offering splendid views of Penobscot Bay and Camden Hills. There is a connector trail to Erickson Fields Preserve if you wish to extend the run.

Maiden Cliff Trail takes you up to Maiden Cliff for a lovely view of the surrounding area. The trail begins at the Maiden Cliff Trailhead parking lot and can be done as an out-and-back or linked with Scenic Trail for a loop run. Other than one short section, the trail is not particularly steep or challenging and offers a nice, gentle introduction to the trails at Camden Hills State Park.
