Need to Know:
The parking lot for Compass Harbor Trailhead is very small, and there are no other nearby free parking accommodations. Please arrive to the program at least 15-minutes early to ensure your spot. Alternatively, paid parking is available in Bar Harbor, an easy 1-mile walk from the Compass Harbor Trailhead. If parking is full, the program is full. Consider taking the Island Explorer bus to this program (ask the driver to drop you off at Compass Harbor).
