Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Gregory Eacho and Arielle Sorkin

We are so excited to share our favorite corner of the world with you! Bar Harbor, Maine is located on Mount Desert Island (MDI), home to Acadia National Park. From hiking and sailing to shopping and dining, MDI has something for everyone. Below are a few of our personal favorites. First and foremost, check out Acadia National Park! There are lots of great hikes available for all difficulty levels. Penobscot, Bubble Rock, Dorr, and Bee Hive (more challenging) are a few trails that we love. The Island Explorer bus provides transportation from downtown Bar Harbor to park entrance points. The shuttle is free, though they may check for a park pass that you can purchase online. If you do have a car, driving the park loop road offers pretty seaside viewpoints. Please note that some areas require a park pass for vehicles. When you're done hiking, check out some of our additional recommendations below:

Acadia Outdoor Center

Greg's dad Bill says this is the best ice cream on the island (controversial subject). It has good coffee (by Maine standards) and an eclectic collection of outdoors gear for sale, bike rentals, etc. Great spot to rent a bike and have easy access to the park up Jordan Pond Road. Come by if you have a car!
