An Acadia National Park Ranger is usually on staff here during normal operating hours to answer any questions. Park passes may be purchased here as well. Due to funding cutbacks, this location is also used by the local
chambers of commerce to give out information about their municipalities.
There is a much larger facility further ahead with more items for purchase at the main Visitor
Center at Hulls Cove. There are public
restrooms available at both locations.
On the other side of the road of this Thompson Island location is a nice
little day picnic area, right on the
coast, with a good size grassy area for playing games. It is open from
6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Bathroom facilities are available here as well. (see panoramic)
For information during the winter months, visit the Park
Headquarters on Highway 233 near Eagle Lake,
just 3 miles west of Bar Harbor. |
