Bar Harbor is the largest city on Maine’s Mount Desert Island. The name refers to the sandbar that connects the island to the mainland at low tide. The charming New England town is home to Acadia National Park, and is an easily walkable city great for exploring the shops, galleries and restaurants on foot. Take a walking tour with a certified Maine Guide to learn more about the town. The area’s Abbe Museum exhibits Native American artifacts and teaches guests about the cultural history of the region. Carriage trails throughout the island make for excellent cross country skiing in the winter.
