Bar Harbor Maps and Orientation

(Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Maine - ME, USA)



View across the harborfrontThe town of Bar Harbor is located on the island of Mount Desert and within Hancock County. Lying within the eastern region of Maine, the island is connected to the mainland by the Bar Harbor Road, which is also known as the Acadia Byway and separates Thomas Bay and the Western Bay. Being on the far northeasterly tip of the United States, Canada is within relative proximity, such as Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Bar Harbor enjoys a coastal situation alongside Frenchman Bay and directly to the west of both Jordan island and Ironbound Island. The Acadia National Park is just minutes to the west and south, making up a substantial portion of Mount Desert Island itself, with the nearby Eagle Lake and Jordan Pond being reached along the Park Loop Road.
