• Park Loop Road - The self-guided driving tour enters the iconic Park Loop Road of Acadia. Follow this loop throughout the park, concluding at the summit of Cadillac Mountain.
• The Jackson Laboratory - Pass by the picturesque Beaver Pond, where there might be a chance to see beavers and their dams. On the opposite side, view Jackson Labs and learn about its significance to Bar Harbor.
• Precipice Trail - As the tour progresses, pass the Precipice Trail, an excellent hike for those seeking a bit of physical activity. It’s also home to the endangered peregrine falcon, which nests on high rocky ledges, safe from non-flying predators. The mountain’s steep face is ideal for this!
• Egg Rock Overlook - This viewpoint offers a look over Bar Harbor’s Frenchman Bay, where a small island can be seen. This is the location of Egg Rock Lighthouse.
• Ocean Path - Here lies another detour option: Ocean Path Trail. If the steep inclines of Precipice Trail aren’t appealing, the gentle, winding path here is a wonderful alternative.
• Sand Beach - Next is Sandy Beach! Although only 290 yards long, the beach compensates for its size with intriguing natural history. A slight greenish tint in the sand is due to sea urchins!
• Old Soaker - Continuing through Acadia, pass Old Soaker, where waves crash against the rock’s vertical face, sending water skyward.
• Thunder Hole - Also see Thunder Hole, a natural rock inlet where waves crash with a thunderous sound.
• Monument Cove - Monument Cove showcases nature’s incredible power. Over centuries, water and time have eroded the granite, leaving a twenty-foot tall rock pillar resembling a man-made sculpture.
• Gorham Mountain Trailhead - As the tour continues along Acadia’s Park Loop Road, Gorham Mountain rises to the right. The steep trail features a false summit, appearing to plateau before ascending further. Both the false and true summits offer stunning views of the landscape!
• Otter Cliff - Next, encounter the breathtaking Otter Cliff and Otter Cove. At the top of Otter Cliff, there’s a steep 110-foot drop to the chilly Atlantic.
• Bubbles Divide Trail - If this rock seems out of place, it’s because it is. A glacier that moved over Jordan Pond also transported this massive rock and left it here.
• Jordan Pond - The self-guided tour leads to Jordan Pond. It’s highly recommended to pause here to enjoy the views and the restaurant. Jordan Pond was carved by a massive glacier twenty thousand years ago.
• Bubble Pond - Bubble Pond is another glacial remnant, carved out by a massive ice sheet descending from the Arctic thousands of years ago.
• Eagle Lake Acadia National Park - The drive passes Eagle Lake, which provides water for Bar Harbor and food for local birds.
• Cadillac Mountain Summit Trail - Finally, begin the ascent to the summit of Acadia’s crown jewel: Cadillac Mountain. The views from the top are unparalleled!
• Holy Redeemer Catholic Church - Next are two churches, each leaving a distinct impression.
• St. Saviour’s Episcopal Church - This church stands out due to its unique design, or rather, the lack of it! The building appears to be made of mismatched parts, each representing a different historical era.
• Jesup Memorial Library - This quaint library’s history dates back to 1875, originating from a casual conversation among Bar Harbor’s affluent summer residents. Establishing a public library would solidify Bar Harbor as a true town, and they proposed the idea to the community.
• Abbe Museum - Pause here, just past the School Street intersection, to view the Abbe Museum on the right.
• Village Green - Bar Harbor’s Village Green boasts star power, with its layout and landscaping designed by Beatrix Farrand, the creator of the White House’s Rose Garden. Her design remains unchanged to this day, as perfection needs no alteration!
• Frenchman Bay - Stroll along the coast of Frenchman Bay. Why the name? It’s due to the numerous French expeditions in the 1500s. Before European colonists could settle, the land needed to be charted, mapped, and evaluated. France’s Samuel de Champlain accomplished this. While Spain’s conquistadors sought gold in South America, the French focused on the fur trade in the North.
• Balance Rock Inn - If this rock seems out of place, it’s because it is! Balance Rock is a glacial erratic, meaning a glacier transported this boulder from a northern granite deposit and left it here.
• Grant Park - Grant Park marks the site of a former building. The grassy area seen now was once a personal tennis court!
• Bar Harbor Inn & Spa - Adjacent to Grant Park, on the left, is the expansive seaside resort, Bar Harbor Inn.

In 1887, this building began as the Mount Desert Reading Room, a gathering place for Bar Harbor’s well-educated, wealthy summer residents to discuss literature. Before movie theaters and malls, it was one of the town’s major social hubs!
