The heart of Maine's largest island

About Mount Desert Island

Mount Desert Island is the largest island off the Maine Coast and the second largest on the eastern seaboard after Long Island, New York. Today, it is home to year-round communities, numerous summer colonies and, of course, Acadia National Park. While Bar Harbor is the largest town on the Island, smaller towns such as Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor and Somesville, (part of the Town of Mount Desert), Southwest Harbor, and Tremont also have enticing amenities for year-round residents and summer visitors alike. Nearby offshore islands offer a variety of attractions, and towns on the mainland such as Blue Hill and Winter Harbor are also popular summer destinations.

A Stunning National Treasure

About Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park originated as Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916, and was the first national park created from donated private land. This effort was spearheaded in 1901 by the president of Harvard University, Charles W. Eliot, and directed over the next 43 years by George B. Dorr. The 35,000-acre park occupies roughly half of Mount Desert Island, and portions of the Schoodic Peninsula, and Isle au Haut. With 45 miles of carriage roads and 120 miles of designated hiking trails, the breath-taking ocean vistas, pristine forests, and granite ledges of Acadia National Park are a natural wonder that can be enjoyed by all.
