The scenic drive on Mount Desert Island follows an eight-shaped path on Maine Highways 3 and 102. You can cover the 66 mile route in about two hours if you hurry. But why hurry? Relish the island’s natural beauty. Savor the cliffs, inlets and islands as well as the small villages dotting the 108 square-mile island. A shorter route is the 27 mile Park Loop Road through Arcadia National Park. To enhance your experience, pick up a map and information at the Arcadia Park Headquarters in Bar Harbor or either the Thompson Island and Hulls Cove Visitor Centers.
