Introduction

There is a map of Acadia National Park here that links to a wealth of information about the area.  We have split the pictures into a series of pages; make your selection by clicking the appropriate content item to the left. 
We first visited Bar Harbor in Maine in 2004.  One of the purposes of the trip was to go out on a whale watch; something that neither of us had done before.  We went in early September, which was not the best time as it was crowded, and hotels were fully booked.  We ended up at the Balance Rock Inn, which was expensive but turned out to be an excellent choice.  We have returned every year since, but now go out of season, usually in late May or early June and sometimes in October.  We did the whale watch that first year, with the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company, and it was an exhilarating experience that we have repeated.  Unfortunately, going out of season means that the boat does not always go out so we have missed out in some years.
