Travel Instructions: From Highway 1 at Ellsworth turn south on Highway 3, which leads to Acadia National Park. After just over nine miles you will cross a bridge onto Mount Desert Island. From this point Highway 3 will turn east, and you will arrive in Bar Harbor after 10.3 miles. The lighthouse can be seen by continuing into Acadia National Park and taking the loop road. The view from the loop road is a distant one, and a much better view is possible by taking a boat trip out of Bar Harbor.

A close-up view of the lighthouse can be had on a Lighthouse and Park Tour offered by Bar Harbor Whale Watch. For an aerial view, you can take a flight with Maine Coastal Flight Center out of the Bar Harbor airport.

The lighthouse is owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Grounds closed April 1 - August 31, lighthouse closed.
