THE SOUTHWEST HARBOR CAUSEWAY DAM

When we lived on the quiet side of the island one of the places we liked to go to with the kids was the Causeway Dam.  We always parked at a nearby friends house, whose first showed us the path to the dam.  At the end of S. Causeway Dam is a house with a small driveway.  In the corner of the driveway is a well worn path through the trees and to the shore, where there are steps leading up to the top of the dam.  The dam is pretty wide, but there are railings on either side of the walkway, which crosses over to the Golf Course. 
I did ask our firends if the land owners minded people going through their yard, we were told no one ever complained about it.  Also, one guy told me he thought the path was written up in the deed as a public right of way, but he said he wasn't 100% certain about that.
