Fair Haven meets New Baltimore's eastern flank and is the beginning of St. Clair County. At the last census, Fair Haven reported just under 5,000 residents with an average age of 45.

The primary M29 lake front route through town is seasonally busy, especially in the peak summer months as this road also feeds Algonac & Harsens Island.
