Scenic Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island Maine
Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park
on Mount Desert Island

The Black FriarBar Harbor, Maine has been a destination resort for over 150 years. Although summer is its most popular season, the area is a magnificent place in fall, winter and spring, as well. There's a wide variety of outdoor activities for all levels of "rusticators" to enjoy. Set sail on a schooner, cruise the harbor on one of the many nature tours, pull a lobster trap or two, see whales, bald eagles and ospreys, repel Otter Cliffs, bike, hike or kayak. You name it: Bar Harbor has it all.

Mount Desert Island is a place unique in the world. Find deep and clear ocean, sand and cobblestone, beaches and forests old and new, clear blue mountain lakes, bald granite cliffs and mountaintops, and oceanside communities with beautiful harbors.

Our crown jewel is Acadia National Park, with its green waters of the Gulf of Maine and its glacial cliffs and mountains. Hike and bike throughout the park. Take a horsedrawn carriage ride or a narrated tour. But whatever you do, be sure to enjoy the morning sunrises and the evening sunsets, the lustrous, thick rolling fog, lush, aromatic pine forests, profusions of wildflowers, rich starry nights, and silent mountains.
