Our Location

Bass Harbor is situated at the southern tip of Mount Desert Island and is home to one of the most picturesque lighthouses in Maine. It's a real, working fishing village offering the idyllic postcard Maine vacation. Acadia National Park has some incredible hiking and trail construction; the western side of the island offers some of the best views from its summits.

Tis the start of the summer season here in Bass Harbor, Maine

Anywhere you look there are people out and about, doing yard work, putting their boats in the water, getting ready for the season. Each day I notice more and more boats being put into the harbor.

The beautiful little fishing village of Bass Harbor is home to one of the most picturesque lighthouses in Maine, Bass Head Light (pictured on this blog's header). There's a trail that veers off to the left from the parking lot which guides you down to the beautiful salmon colored granite on which the lighthouse sits perched atop. If you were to only take the path marked by the coast guard, you wouldn't see the granite cliff. You'd be directly on the lightkeepers grounds, but you wouldn't see the amazing jagged coastline. Keep this in mind when venturing down there!
