The Maine Highlands

We promote the interests and vitality of the Deer Isle-Stonington business community in a manner that respects the Island's traditional ways of life and encourages new, sustainable opportunities that will support a flourishing Island economy. Reachable by bridge, Deer Isle still retains the flavor of New England life in the 1950's: rural, neighborly, and safe. A cluster of small communities with almost 3,000 residents comprise the year round population. Deer Isle has a vast selection of places to eat, shop & stay. The mixture of spruce-covered islands, quiet coves, granite outcroppings, fields of lupine and wildflowers, lobster boats, windjammers, glistening waters and pristine winter snow make a visit to Deer Isle, at any time of year, an enchanting and enriching experience.
