A few popular photo locations in Acadia National Park and beyond

Jordan Pond:

Otter Point/Cliffs

Blue Hill Overlook

Best place to see the sunset (if there is one - evenings often get foggy up here). This overlook is actually just below the summit of Cadillac Mountain. It’s easily accessible and a great place for a ceremony with family members in attendance.

Cadillac Mountain:

Very accessible path.

Carriage & Park Roads

Sieur de Monts

A sweet wooded area with a mix of trees and open spaces. Perfect spot to visit in the fall. Includes a long boardwalk trail. Perfect if you LOVE birch trees and foilege. Sieur de Monts Spring is located along Route 3 just south of Bar Harbor and is also accessible by car via the start of the Park Loop Road.

Jessup Path:

Ship Harbor Trail- QUIET SIDE OF ACADIA

One of my favorite spots on the quiet side: Ship Harbor Trail. ( excuse the poor-quality cell phone images that fallow) I think is such a pretty location but these images don't do it justice.

Sandy Beach

A super popular location in Bar Harbor. Not accessible due to crowds July- August. Very beautiful spot.

Little Hunters Beach by Scott Davenport

Super secret spot: inside Acadia- I've been asked not to reveal the exact location.

Taft Point Reserve - Outside of Acadia

Schoodic Point- the quiet side of Acadia

Significantly quieter than the rest of Acadia

Winter Harbor & Frazer Point: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA

Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA

65-70 minutes NORTH from Bar HarborThis location feels like the ends of the earth. Very quiet and you can spend 3-4 hours exploring this location including stopping for a picnic.

Deer Isle Maine: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA

Accessible by bridge, it's fairly easy to get to Deer Isle. Approx 75 minutes from Bar Harbor. Quiet Island preserve...lower tourist volume.
