The peak is accessable by a winding paved 3.5 mile road with several scenic turn offs along the way to view the town of Bar Harbor, the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.
Park Loop Road
The 27 mile Park Road is also a great route with its one way paved loop for views of the ocean, coastal forests, and mountain vistas. This loop road is open from April 15 through November 30, weather permitting with some portions remaining open all year. The park loop road can be busy and congested with cars and pedestrians as well as bicycles. Parking is in the left lane. Obey the rules of the road and when traveling in groups do so in single file.
