Doliver Island

Boat-in access defines the experience at Doliver Island, a small Maine Island Trail Association site requiring careful timing with tides for safe landing. The island provides minimal space with room for just one tent, making it a strategic overnight stop for kayakers crossing Jericho Bay. Fresh water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply along with waste disposal bags since no facilities exist on-site.

The shell-covered beach faces Isle au Haut with open water views. Mosquitoes can be persistent even into early fall, so insect protection remains essential. MITA members camp free on a first-come basis, while other paddlers exploring camping near Isle au Haut will find this makes sense as a launching point for multi-day island hopping adventures.

Spot for Just 1 Tent...Barely!

One of the MITA (Maine Island Trail Association) camping areas in the Deer Isle Archipelago, this island is small with barely a tent space, but a good stop for us on our 9 day journey and a perfect launching spot for crossing Jericho Bay (4.5 miles) to Marshall Island the next day.   Gorgeous shell covered beach and a beautiful view of Isle au Haut, just next door.

This can be a tricky island to land on at high tide, so plan accordingly. Be prepared for mosquitoes. We thought we were passed mosquito season in early September, but alas, they were pretty bad all day long. 

Come prepared with fresh water (there is no fresh water for filtering) and wag bags (no toilets). Site is first come, first served and completely free for MITA members.
