Next, enjoy two hours in Bar Harbor—savor fresh seafood or a lobster roll, browse shops and galleries, grab ice cream, or stroll the waterfront and take in the views. We’ll also visit the Fort Knox–Narrows Bridge Overlook for striking views of its soaring towers and the Penobscot River, then make a final stop in Bangor for a photo of Stephen King’s home—famous for its deep red Victorian style and eerie wrought-iron gates.
