Home to Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island is located in "Down East" Maine along the Atlantic coast.  MDI is home to the towns of Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Mount Desert, and Tremont. Several smaller communities lie within these towns such as Bass Harbor, Town Hill, Seal Cove and Otter Creek. Acadia National Park is the only National Park in the Northeast. The park contains the tallest mountain on the Atlantic Coast of the United States (Cadillac Mountain), exposed granite domes, glacially cut coastline, valleys, meadows, salt marshes, and cobble beaches. Woven into this picturesque landscape is a historic carriage road system, a lovely Sand Beach along the Ocean Path, and trails for every skill level.
