As a charming coastal town, Bar Harbor is located on Mount Desert Island in Hancock County off the coast of Maine. 

The gateway to one of the most unique and breathtaking national parks. Acadia National Park takes up the majority of Mount Desert Island with a whopping 38,000 acres of preserves plus 12,500 acres of conservation easements including 65 miles of coastline across the park and 17 coastal islands. In other words, lots to see.

Welcome to Acadia National Park. From the moment I pulled into the visitor center for the first time you realize this place is magical as cheesy as that sounds. 

If it is your first time to Acadia I highly recommend the Hulls Cove Entrance Visitor Center, the rangers that work the information desk are extremely knowledgeable and can help you find the perfect trails/hikes for you.

There are over 145 miles of trail in Acadia National Park, by no means have I done them all but here are my recommendations from my month in Acadia.
