North Haven travel guide

North Haven is a year-round island community and summer colony located in Penobscot Bay, Maine, United States. The island is part of Knox County and lies roughly 12 miles offshore. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 381; during the summer months, the population swells into the thousands with visitors and second-home owners.
