Bar harbor Maine

Any insight here. Places to stay or any one own a joint to rent. Places to see thing to do good places to eat. My hit the island of the coast also.
Thanks in advance
Mike

PRETTY MUCH A TOURIST TRAP- BETTER HAVE RESERVATIONS
MT ACADIA NAT. PARK IS NICE-CYCLING,HIKING ETC.
IF YOU CAN GET ON A BOAT, THE COAST THERE IS GREAT!
MANSIONS,CLIFFS.....
AND OF COURSE -----LOBSTER & CLAMS:eating:

Thanks Jett I'm looking to go end of next month or so. As I said lookin for some insight. I will be bringing the road bike and I do plan on gettin a boat ride of some sort.

I get up there several times a year for work. As mentioned, it's a beautiful place but very expensive tourist trap until mid September. I've found the Wonderview Inn http://www.wonderviewinn.com/
To be the most reasonably priced with an incredible view of Frenchman's Bay. Cadillac Mountain auto road is a must do.

not a good place to go ,IF YOUR LOOKING FOR WOMEN:daz:. I went there back in 78 with 2 other friends, after 2 days no single women we left for a road trip to my parents trailer in RI. we stopped at a hotel with a band got drunk met a girl in the mens room:eekdrop:. she was older than us, she brought us to some beach on a lake or pond. told us to set up camp and she would send her hot younger sisters, in the morning to make us breakfast . but the two guys I was with said it was a set up. so we left at 3 am and headed for RI got pulled over twice by maine states and one RI cop.once there at the campgrounds there were no single girls left. :party-smiley-004: the guys who told us to do this worked for my dad :evilb:, besides telling us bar harbor was a good pick up joint also told us to hang at the airport bars to pick up women.:party-smiley-004: we were 19 at the time, oh there was a trip to ski country they sent us on, we almost froze to death in a car, we couldn't find the ski house only had beer money and ski money.:party-smiley-004: Artie

AS FAR AS A BOAT RIDE - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CATTLE CAR TOUR BOAT THING -LOBSTER FISHERMEN ARE HAVING A HARD YEAR- GO TO ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL DOCKS ASK AROUND, YOU MIGHT GET A LOCAL GUY TO TAKE YOU OUT ON A 2 HR RIDE OR A SHORT DAY FISHING -JUST DON'T TELL HIM YOUR FROM MASS:daz: THAT WHOLE ME. vs MA. THING! I USED TO FISH DOWN THE COAST AND WOULD DO IT.

If you go to the lakes, watch out for the environmental police, I was stopped by them on Webb lake and given a ticket for not having a milfoil sticker, no warning, just a ticket for almost 300$ there should be a posting at every boat ramp about milfoil stickers . They may have gotten me this time but in the long run Maine is the loser, because I will no longer spend any money there.
