Wouldnt even call this a hike because its extremely short. However, pops you right out onto the rocks with almost no tourists. Really cool to explore the rocky coast on your own, so close to Bar Harbor. Parking: Space for about 10 cars. Fees: No fees Restrooms: No restrooms

Its nice. Sometimes youre running into tourists, but most of the time you wont. Theres some nice old ruins of a burn down mansion and its pretty good swimming. Parking: Its a small parking lot. Ive never had trouble finding a spot, but I could see it filling up quick. Dog-friendliness: Its dog friendly

The route itself is not particularly successful, just a walk in a humid forest (and a considerable amount of mosquitoes and other flying creatures), but at the other end of it you reach a stunningly beautiful beach.

Was a easy hike. I did not find the old farm but went to the beach. It was really cool during low tide. Some sandy spots and some really big rocks to explore. Just be careful walking on the kelp. You can see people's houses looking through the trees carefully. But it is in a deep forest area. Parking: There is a small first parking lot on the trail head. It can fit maybe 10 cars if it was packed. Not too many people where there when I arrived. Maybe 3 tourist cars present.
