There is no better place in Maine to enjoy outdoor activities in summertime than in Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. Whether you are a hiker, biker, kayaker or casual tourist the island of Mt. Desert has more in one location than anyplace else in Maine or for that mater New England. Mt. Desert Island offers unsurpassed opportunities for kayakers to explore the rocky shoreline and coves as well as nearby islands. You can launch your kayak right from our location at Atlantic Oceanside resort on Frenchman's Bay and explore the Porcupine Islands or The Ovens sea caves. The hotel has waterfront access and a pebble beach for easy launching. Or drive around the island to Seal Cove, Northeast Harbor & inside of Somes Sound a natural Fjord an the only one of it's kind on the East Coast. Or head over to Pretty Marsh and enjoy the islands of Western Bay. If you prefer to Hike there are countless hiking opportunities in Acadia National Park from easy hikes along the trails of Sand Beach & Otter Cliffs to more challenging trails of Pemetic, Bubbles or Cadillac mountains. For bikers the Park Loop offers splendid road based opportunities or for the off roaders the Acadia Carriage trails are splendid packed gravel trails that wind in and around Acadia. It's no wonder Acadia is the most visited National Park in the USA.
