I’m checking out Acadia National Park next weekend but I’m going to be staying in Bar Harbor. What’s the best route from Boston to Bar Harbor?

Acadia National Park is perhaps the best national park in the Northeast! The best driving route from
Boston
to Bar Harbor is fairly straightforward—all you have to do is hop on I-95 N and take US-1A S from Bangor. The drive should take you around four and a half hours.
Check out these attractions on your drive to Bar Harbor:
  • Hampton Beach
    . This cute town has a classic boardwalk filled with beachy finds, fresh seafood, and live music.
  • Portsmouth
    is a historic town in New Hampshire filled with museums and walking tours.
  • Portland
    is one of the coolest small cities in America. All the artsy people in Maine flock to it, making it a funky destination.
  • Bangor
    is Maine’s third-largest city and home to some great winter fun.
