Explore Maine's natural wonders from up high at Acadia National Park!

Easiest Adventures (15-30+ minutes):

- Driving up to the top of Cadillac Mountain, which requires an advance reservation on their website for a specific date and time to enter. This is the most photographed view in Acadia.

- Taking a short walk or driving and stopping along Ocean Path, which features Sand Beach, Otter Point and Thunder Hole. The path is wide and flat along the coast with many great views.

Medium Adventures (1-1.5+ Hours):

- The Jordan Pond to South Bubble loop, a 1.5-mile jaunt pictured above and Freya approved.

- Gorham Mountain, a 3.0-mile loop with the widest viewpoint of Frenchman Bay, Sand Beach and the Porcupine Islands.

For the Go-Getters/Advanced Hikers (2 Hours+)

- Precipice Trail 2.7 mile loop with over 1,000ft of incline.

- Beehive Trail 1.4 mile loop. This is the most popular hike for a reason!

You can buy a park entrance pass when you get there, or you can purchase in advance to have in your car window.

At low tide, the namesake of Bar Harbor, a sandbar, reveals itself! It makes for a fun walk and sea glass or shell hunting across to Bar Island.

This natural land bridge is accessible for about 2 hours before low tide and 2 hours after low tide. Access to the bar is found by walking down Bridge Street.

More adventurous hikers can walk all the way out to explore Bar Island which is part of Acadia National Park, northwest of the Town pier. Caution! If you don't cross back before high tide you will be stranded for 9 hours!!

Short, well-paved path that wraps around the coastline of downtown Bar Harbor from the Bar Harbor Inn to Wayman Lane, which loops back to downtown. It offers stunning views of the water and islands and is THE photo op spot.
