Review:
Connected to the mainland by an inconspicuous bridge, Mount Desert Island is the largest island off the coast of Maine and is home to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, one of the most popular seaside towns in Maine. There is a great deal to do and see on the island, but traffic can be hectic during the summer season and visitors are urged to leave their vehicles at Bar Harbor and use the free shuttle to get around the island. There are wonderful hiking trails to explore, including the Beehive Trail, Precipice Trail, and the beautiful Shore Path. For a change from walking and hiking, you can hop aboard a Sea Princess Cruise, go kayaking and canoeing, or join an Acadia Lobster Cruise.
