Camden is great to explore on foot with its shops, restaurants, and galleries on Main St and around the harbor. Chestnut St and other residential areas are quite charming and filled with gorgeous old period Federal, Greek Revival or Victorian houses.

Walking maps can be found at the Chamber of Commerce:

The park has two nice beaches - Sand Beach and Echo Lake Beach, with changing rooms, rest rooms, and lifeguards on duty during the season. Sand Beach is along Park Loop Road. Note that the water temperature rarely reaches above 55°F! Echo Lake Beach, on the western side of the island just north of Southwest Harbor, has much warmer water.

Rated as one of the best public courses in New England. Located a short drive from Bar Harbor- take Eagle Lake Road (Route #233) out of town and the course is easily seen on your left (South). Classic links-style 18-hole course nestled between Cadillac and Dorr Mountains.

Another fun activity in the island is rock climbing – with climbing terrain accessible to all levels- and the park is famous for its spectacular seaside cliffs of pristine granite.

Two climbing schools are located in Bar Harbor and provide half day and full day tailored courses for everyone from first timers to advanced climbers.

Acadia National Park maintains more than 120 mi of hiking paths, from easy strolls around lakes and ponds – don’t miss the Jordan Pond Nature Trail – to challenging treks with climbs up rock faces and scrambles along cliffs. It is also famous for its 45 miles of scenic carriage trails, built at the beginning of the 20th century by John D. Rockefeller Jr. Open only to hikers, bikers, horse riders and carriage drivers, the carriage roads feature several beautiful granite stone bridges to cross and spectacular vistas.

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

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.
