On Maine 102 you will have the opportunity to see the western part of Acadia National Park with highlights like Echo Lake or Bass Harbor. If you enjoy the scenery we recommend the Acadia Park Loop Road in the eastern part of Mount Desert Island and we are sure you will not be disappointed with what you will encounter along the way. However, word of the beauty of the Park Loop Road has spread so far that unfortunately you will not be alone in enjoying it. Traffic on the Park Loop is much heavier than on the Main 102, so for those who appreciate nature and tranquility, we recommend taking a little longer to enjoy the Maine 102.
