Isle au Haut is a lesser traveled part of Acadia National Park that should not be missed.
Isle au Haut
The 10th track from the album Isle au Haut by These Mad Dogs of Glory. Isle au Haut is the first full length double vinyl album release by the band.
Vinyl copies of the double album can be purchased here.
The concept of this album is based loosely about a man, William Hester, and the tragic death of his wife Lizzie and their unborn child in a shipwreck off the coast of Maine near the island called Isle au Haut. William is then looked upon as being a murderer by the small island community where he resides. The islanders believe that he did not aid in the rescue of his wife, and he believes that his wife committed suicide, as she was hiding on the boat whilst out on fishing duties and he never knew she was there. Only, after a storm ravages the small fishing vessel, did he realize the presence of his wife, only by the screams she let out as the ship went down. As never being officially charged for the crime, he plods onward to relive his life, haunted by the death of his pregnant wife... After leaving the island, finding a new love, he begins to rebuild his life as a fisherman, forever shadowed by his tumultuous past and the screams of his dying pregnant wife.

SwitchbackKids 's Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Access to the wonders of Acadia well worth the pricey cost
Acadia, especially in the shoulder seasons, is a paradise. Although it is one of the most densely-visited parks during the summer and fall colors seasons, if you time things right, the whole park can be yours to explore.
Blackwoods Campground was our only camping option inside the park during our visit in late October. As some of the campground is closed at this time of year, we were surprised to learn it was almost full to capacity when we arrived for four nights. Definitely book in advance. It is one of the priciest NPS campgrounds at $30/night for a bare tent site, but as our only option for camping inside the park, we swallowed the cost and made the most of it. If we had visited during the summer, we would have stayed elsewhere, like on Isle Au Haut or Seawall Campground.
The campground itself is what you’d expect at most national parks. Bathrooms with flush toilets, sites with picnic tables. Easy access to the wonders of Acadia.
During our five days in the park, our favorite activities included hiking the Precipice Trail (closed during certain months because of nesting), seeing the quieter side of Acadia and walking to Wonderland Point, joining the crowds to watch the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, and exploring the town of Bar Harbor (highly recommend seeing a movie at Reel Pizza!).

On a clear day, what can be better than sitting on a comfortable horse carriage and being transported through tree-shaded carriage roads, with glimpses across DownEast Maine, all the way to Isle Au Haut. Tales and tails, make for a wonderful experience. Come along for the ride.
