Home » Maine » 5 Day Itinerary-Maine » 5 Day Itinerary-Maine OverviewThe Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park area of Maine is a perfect place to spend a week long vacation. Bar Harbor is the largest community on Mount Desert Island, the 3rd largest island on the eastern seaboard. In the 19th century it was a popular summer resort area in the country appealing to the most powerful men of the time including Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and Vanderbilt who built cottages in the area, many of which burnt during the fire of 1947. Also located on the island and adjacent to Bar Harbor is Acadia National Park, the Northeast’s only National Park. The park offers over 32,000 acres of land on Mt. Desert Island including 120 miles of hiking trails, 45 miles of carriage trails for walking or biking, and a host of other activities. Although the island itself is only 108 square miles there are plenty of sights to see and adventures to experience.
