Bar Island
Acadia National Park, Maine

Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park, is directly north of the West Street town pier in Bar Harbor, Maine. At low tide, the island is accessible by foot or by an all terrain type vehicle across a natural gravel land bridge. Visiting there will provide a spectacular view of Mount Desert Island with Bar Harbor in the foreground as shown in one of the photos above. Look for Bridge Street on the north side of West Street to gain access. Check for the local times of low tide and allow yourself enough time so that you will not get stuck on the island. Plan on having no more than one hour before and after the low tide. Be sure to take a watch and wear hiking shoes or boots as it can be wet. Get ready for a wonderful and alternative nature fantasy tour. (photos)
