Introduction

On Mount Desert Island, Maine, it features stunning ocean cliffs, rugged coastline, Acadian mountain forests and Cadillac Mountain (highest point on the US East Coast) — the Northeast's most sought-after natural destination. About 190 km² of coastline, mountains and forests. Cadillac Mountain (466 m) offers among America's earliest sunrise views. Jordan Pond Path, Thunder Hole and Sand Beach are iconic. Historic carriage roads built by the Rockefeller family. Bar Harbor nearby offers Maine lobster.
