Scenic Drive in Mount Desert Island

 

Park Loop Road

Drive the 27 mile Acadia’s Park Loop Road for an excellent overview of the island. On a stormy day, don’t forget to stop at the Thunder Hole, a natural stone crevasse into which waves surge, compress and burst out in a thrilling and deafening sound.

 

Bass Harbor Lighthouse

Picturesque lighthouse, one of the most photographed in the country. Well worth a stop. 

 

Cadillac Mountain

Cocktail Cruise

Any boat visiting Mount Desert Island should cruise up the 6 mile long Somes Sound – the only natural Fjord on the U.S. East Coast – to enjoy unforgettable scenery. The entrance is only 1.2 miles from Dysart’s Marina and it is well protected with very deep water. John Williams Boat Company rents moorings for transient boats.
