The stuff of postcards and paintings, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is the most iconic destination in Acadia National Park. Take the path to the right of the lighthouse to snag a view of the both the harbor and islands in the distance. Don’t forget to check out nearby quintessential Maine lighthouses, Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse and Baker Island Lighthouse, while island hopping in the area.

If you're visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, you will also have your choice of lighthouses to visit. Follow the Bass Harbor Lighthouse trail for a short walk to the lighthouse and the cliffs of Mt Desert Island.

mustangdmv (Danielle Call) Historic buildings that would guide sailors to the coast from around the world, these are some of Maine's most picturesque lighthouses. From Portland Head Light all the way up to West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, you could take a week long road trip to try to see them all!
