Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park
Posted by Mary Ann Hale on Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Unique! There is no other way to describe this island and the marvels it has to offer vacationers. First discovered by the wealthy high society of the Belle Epoque, it became a colony of millionaires playing in Eden (the original name of Bar Harbor). Thanks to donations made by these wealthy families, Mount Desert Island is now home to one of the most beautiful of the national parks Acadia. The name itself reveals the promise of the incomparable beauty that awaits you: mountains, ocean, lakes, hiking and biking on over 50 miles of Park Carriage Roads a gift of John D. Rockefeller, boat trips to explore the coastline and nearby islands, whale watching, kayaking, fishing or just enjoying an exquisite sunset over a quaint and peaceful harbor. A bit of paradise awaits you on Mount Desert Island!
