Maine is the #2 Best State for Living/Working and the #2 Safest State in the USA. Come to the coast! Bar Harbor is the biggest town on bridge-connected Mount Desert Island. At 100+ square miles, this is the second largest island off the east coast (after Long Island). This is the site of spectacular Acadia National Park, with 50,000 acres of magnificent mountains and lakes, picturesque coastlines and welcoming campgrounds. Acadia offers 30 miles of groomed bicycle paths and a range of unique hiking trails appealing to the novice, or to advanced climbers. Acadia hosts millions of visitors annually.

Bar Harbor is a beloved tourist destination and a popular cruise ship port. You will find an impressive number of seafood and other restaurants alongside ice cream shops and unique boutiques. Enjoy whale-watching cruises, a distinguished Native American museum, and The Jackson Laboratory – a respected genetics research complex. Recreational choices are unbeatable, with camping, hiking and climbing, biking and kayaking, fishing, sailing, cycling and golf during the warmer seasons. In wintertime, enjoy cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.

Bar Harbor is terrific for families. The local schools are top-rated, and residential options are available on or off the island. Bar Harbor is 75 minutes from Bangor, Maine's third largest city, with 100,000 people, a convenient international airport, shopping malls, dozens of eateries, a symphony orchestra, a casino/hotel, a first-rate children’s museum, riverfront festivals and concerts, and many other amenities.
