Stop At: Sand Beach

Duration: Not Available

Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Gorham Mountain Trailhead
Park Loop Road, Bar Harbor, ME 04609

Stop At: Bubbles Divide Trail

Duration: Not Available

Stop At: St. Saviour's Episcopal Church
41 Mount Desert Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
You can’t miss the church because the most unique thing about it is its design. Or rather… lack of design! In fact, the building looks like it's made of several mismatched parts. Each one represents a different historical era.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Jesup Memorial Library
34 Mount Desert Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
This little library's history goes all the way back to 1875. It all began with a casual conversation among some of Bar Harbor's wealthy summer residents. A public library would establish Bar Harbor as a REAL town. They pitched the idea to the town.

Stop At: Village Green
9 Firefly Lane, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
Bar Harbor's Village Green has some star power behind it… the layout and landscaping were done by Beatrix Farrand, the woman who designed the White House's Rose Garden. Her design still remains intact to this day. You can't mess with perfection!
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Frenchman Bay
Bar Harbor, Maine
You're walking along the coast of Frenchman Bay. Wait — why is it named for the French? Simple! It's because of all the French expeditions that took place here in the 1500s. Long before the land could be settled by European colonists, it had to be charted, mapped and evaluated. France’s Samuel de Champlain did just that. While Spain’s conquistadors looked for gold in South America, the French focused on the fur trade in the North.

Stop At: Balance Rock Inn
21 Albert Meadow, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
If this rock looks out of place here… that's because it is! Balance Rock is a glacial erratic. That means that a glacier pulled this boulder from a granite deposit up north and deposited it here.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Grant Park
21 Albert Meadow, Bar Harbor, ME 04609

Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Bar Harbor Inn & Spa
1 Newport Drive, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
Right next to Grant Park, on your left, you can't miss the sprawling seaside resort, Bar Harbor Inn. In 1887, this building started out as the Mount Desert Reading Room: a place for the well-educated wealthy summer residents of Bar Harbor to meet and discuss literature. Back in the days before movie theaters and malls, this was one of the biggest social hubs in town!
