Bar Harbor Shore Path

The famous Shore Path in Bar Harbor, Maine, begins at the town pier and continues South for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile along the eastern shore of Mount Desert Island. Originally created around 1880, people have walked on this path taking in the sites, sounds and smells ever since. You should include an early morning walk here while visiting Acadia National Park. Off shore to the East are the four Porcupine Islands which are especially beautiful at sunrise. Along the path are rocky granite shores and several beautiful mansions.
