Review & FAQ:
Bar Island is an uninhabited island that forms part of Acadia National Park, located across a tidal “bar” or causeway from Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island. You can easily reach Bar Island on foot at low tide – you just need to be sure to check the tide schedule to avoid being cut off from Bar Harbor. Bar Island is beyond picturesque and is a popular destination for visitors who enjoy beach-combing, walking, bird and wildlife watching, fishing, trail running, and hiking. The whole family can enjoy the 1.8-mile Bar Harbor Trail, which offers beautiful Bar Harbor Views and lovely wild flowers in season. There are plenty of options for accommodation in and around Bar Harbor.
