Bar Harbor Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Bar Harbor!
Gateway to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor offers a wide variety of recreational activities in one of the most beautiful locations on the U.S. East Coast. The park is a perfect place to take in spring wildflowers, flocks of migrating birds, and fall foliage. Tour Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in the summer by motorcoach, bicycle, trolley or sea kayak. During the winter months, take in cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, or for more of a challenge, ice climbing routes have been mapped out in the area. Those that prefer land-related entertainment can enjoy a game of golf or experience a tour of the Bar Harbor Brewing Co. & Soda Works building. And, when all of your touring is done for the day, dig into the fresh seafood, including Maine lobster and mussels, at restaurants and nightspots throughout the town.
