Welcome

Dear Friend, Welcome to Bar Harbor, where the scent of salt air mingles with the whisper of towering pines, and every path leads to a new adventure. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the embrace of a place filled with wonder, charm, and the kind of beauty that lingers in your heart long after you leave.

Start your days early and watch the sunrise paint the sky with hues of orange and gold. While Cadillac Mountain gets all the fame, locals know there’s quiet beauty all around. Head to Otter Cliffs for a front-row seat to the waves crashing against rugged granite. Or, try Schooner Head Overlook, where you can watch the sun peek over the horizon in solitude, with nothing but the sound of the ocean to keep you company.

Acadia National Park is a treasure trove of outdoor adventures, from rugged coastlines to serene forests. To enjoy, try the Great Head Trail—which offers stunning ocean views, with a mix of rocky outcroppings and sandy beach access.

Or take it slower with a stroll along Duck Brook Path.

When hunger strikes, indulge in the freshest seafood back in town, from succulent lobster rolls to savory clam chowder. Don’t miss out on dessert with a local favorite, wild blueberry pie—a taste of Maine’s natural sweetness.

Beyond its natural beauty, Bar Harbor boasts a rich history. For centuries, this enchanting destination has drawn people from around the globe who are seeking solace, adventure, and inspiration. Explore charming cottages and fascinating museums or embark on guided tours to uncover the island’s captivating past.

Evenings bring their own magic. As the sun begins to set, wander through Bar Harbor’s charming downtown, where quaint shops and art galleries line the streets. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, and you might catch a schooner silhouetted against a pink-hued sky. The stars here shine brighter, inviting you to sit back and dream.

This place is more than a destination; it’s a feeling. It’s a place where you can slow down, connect with nature, and recharge your soul. Dive in, explore, and let Bar Harbor work its wonders on you.

Happy exploring,

Everal Eaton Executive Director Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce

Acadia National Park Acadia National Park is typically one of the top ten most-visited national parks in the United States, with more than 4 million visits every year. Planning a trip to this very popular park is sure to be worth your time. Be prepared ahead of your arrival and be sure to have a park entrance pass and separate vehicle reservation for the Cadillac Summit Road. Check nps.gov/acadia before you arrive and when you arrive, visit the Acadia Gateway Center or Hulls Cove Visitor Center to speak with park rangers about your trip.

What we now know as Acadia National Park is the ancestral homeland of the Wabanaki people. European colonists began settling the area in the 1600s.

Starting in the mid-19th century, wealthy summer residents, landscape architects, engineers, and skilled local craftsmen began formalizing extensive trail and carriage road networks while advocating for protection of this special place from development. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson established the park that now preserves nearly 50,000 acres including extensive historic hiking trail and carriage road networks. The park encompasses nearly half of Mount Desert Island, many smaller islands, and a portion of the Schoodic Peninsula. Today’s visitors inherit the special responsibility of caring for this heritage landscape while enjoying all that Acadia has to offer.

If you’re an early riser, enjoy sunrise from the Park Loop Road along Acadia’s beautiful rocky shoreline on the east side of Mount Desert Island. From October to May, you’ll be among the first in the United States to see the dawning of a new day. Later, enjoy dinner or simply stop in for popovers and strawberry jam at the famous Jordan Pond House, a delightful restaurant founded in the early 1870s.

Motorists who drive the Park Loop Road enjoy a 27-mile ride along oceanside cliffs and mountain forests, stopping at scenic turnouts and notable attractions along the way, such as the mighty Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. The trip is a must.

One of the most amazing features of Acadia National Park is the interlaced system of historic hiking trails and carriage roads. With varied lengths and levels of difficulty, the 158 miles of hiking trails appeal to everyone from casual walkers to seasoned triathletes. Hike, bike, snowshoe, cross-country ski – or go by horse-drawn carriage.

2025 Visitors’ Guide

With Acadia’s popularity June - October, plan ahead to avoid traffic congestion and long waits for parking. Consider visiting popular attractions in the early morning or late afternoons or take the fare-free* Island Explorer bus (late June - mid-October) instead of driving. Visit www.exploreracadia.com for more information.

FEES & PASSES Everyone (16 years old and above) needs an entrance pass to visit Acadia. You can use either a National Park/Federal Lands pass (including Senior, Access, Annual, and more) or an Acadia-specific pass. To purchase your pass, go to recreation.gov, visit an official Acadia National Park location, or stop by the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center when you arrive. A self-serve entrance pass machine is available 24 hours a day at the Hulls Cove Visitor Center parking lot to purchase 7-day vehicle, motorcycle, and individual entrance passes by credit card.

In addition to your entrance pass, vehicle reservations are required for Cadillac Summit Road from mid-May to midOctober. Reservations can be made at recreation.gov. Vehicle reservations are not required for visitors who access Cadillac Summit area by foot, bike, or taxi.

*An entrance pass is required if using the Island Explorer bus service to visit the park.

how you experience the carriage roads, you’ll enjoy the magnificent beauty that surrounds them.

The historic carriage roads are 16 feet wide with generous crowns that keep them well drained. Considered the best example of broken stone roads in the United States, they are, indeed, an engineering wonder. Local workers quarried granite right here on the island to build the intricate network of roads and 17 spectacular stone bridges. In fact, the stone cutters developed such skill that Rockefeller asked them to create a more rustic look. He also took care to preserve trees and to landscape with native plants

Island Beacons

The legacy of working waters and waterfronts still shine their light on Acadia National Park. Many lighthouses dot the area’s island settings from Blue Hill Bay to Frenchman Bay signaling with flashing lights and fog blasts to keep boaters safe in foul weather. Two of them, the Mount Desert Rock Light and the Great Duck Island Light, are owned by the College of the Atlantic, where students study whales and nesting seabirds. The other four are Baker Island, Bear Island Light, Burnt Coat Harbor, and Egg Rock Light.

What’s Your Style?

Imagine a crystal clear night, the sky dotted with millions of stars. The campfire glows and crackles, sending out the sweet smell of burning wood. If you listen, you hear the incoming surf, the occasional cry of a loon, or the quiet laughter of nearby campers.

Your vacation has just begun.

No matter what your style, you’ll find the perfect fit in Bar Harbor. Back-to-nature camping with no frills, a cozy cottage, cabin or yurt, maybe a campground with a pool, playground, store, kayak rentals, and nightly entertainment—it’s your call.

Catch the Island Explorer shuttle for a hike in the park, a day at the beach, grab a bite to eat or browse the many shops in town. Then return to relax and recharge for the next days adventure.

The campfire crackles, sending out the sweet smell of burning wood.

Did you know that...

• Over 5 million lobsters are eaten in Bar Harbor each year.

• The lobster has an average life span of 50 years.

• About 90% of the nation’s lobster supply is caught off the coast of Maine.

• Maine has more than 5,000 licensed lobstermen and women.

• One of the largest and best-known lobsters caught in Maine was named “Rocky”. He measured 40 inches and weighed 27 pounds. While not confirmed, there are stories of a 55.5-pound lobster being caught in Maine in 1926.

• A female lobster lays anywhere from several thousand to 100,000 eggs at a time, but only one-tenth of one percent of those eggs will develop and live past six weeks in the larva stage.

• An adult male lobster will grow a new shell and shed its old one about once a year; females once every two years, increasing an average of 1/2 inch and 1/3 pound with each molt. During its early growth stages, a lobster is believed to shed some 25 times over five to seven years.

Address is Bar Harbor, ME 04609 unless otherwise noted.
