Staying at Seawall Campground (Recreation.gov) for 8 nights $120.00 paid in full.
It serves as a gateway to the mountains and cliffs of neighboring Acadia National Park.
Bar Harbor is a summer haven for the rich and famous, attracting the Astors, Fords, Morgans, Rockefellers,
Vanderbilts, and Carnegie. Today it is a vacation destination for everyone. Celebrities (Martha Stewart and Susan Sarandon and others) have summer homes here.
Tim and I strolled by the many t-shirt shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor to Barrack Obama's favorite Ice Cream! 
Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream, it truly is a fearless flavor and is delicious. We sat on the front porch to enjoy our ice cream.
This service Harbor yard (1928) ranks as a world-class service facility. 
Yachtsmen want their boats to have the highest level of care and service.
Contemporaries with Wendell Gilley they each had an intense interest in nature. 
Fortunately, for us, Rockefeller donated the property to eventually become part of Acadia National Park. Between 1913 and 1940 Rockefeller financed the construction of a system of beautiful carriage roads and granite bridges on Mount Desert Island. 
Over forty-five miles of carriage roads. The bridge designs are built of granite blocks and detailed architectural stonework.
Tim and I biked several days on these automobile-free roads. With a well-refined sense of landscape design; built the carriage roads and bridges to blend harmoniously with the natural landscape.
GateHouse was built in a rural French estate style
where gatekeepers are notified to open the gate to allow carriages onto the roads.
Jordan Pond is picturesque, 
located within Acadia National Park with a 3.6-mile shoreline. Jordan Pond Bridge (1920) 20' arch spanning the confluence of Jordan Stream and Jordan Pond. 
Tim and I biked around the pond and returned to the carriage roads. Jordan Pond is famous for serving tea and popovers at the Jordan Pond House. Stunning with a beautiful view!
Mailboat ferry 
from Harbor Town Dock to visit Cranberry Island. 
Named for the wild cranberries that grow there in the Fall.
The population is over 300 in the summertime, but the year-round population is only around 40. Mostly fishermen who fish the shores for the ever-popular seafood, lobster.General Store, the school and library, 
Post Ofice, Whales Rib Gift Shop.
Tim and I walked along the 1-mile hiking trail beginning at the rocky beach
in a beautiful, secluded cove and brought us through a luscious forest filled with bright green moss, spruce trees, and quiet serenity.

here are 3 generators on the island to support those who live there in the winter.
