Discover even more of the raw beauty of Acadia National Park and Maine’s rugged coastline aboard the Schoodic Ferry. The Schoodic Ferry connects passengers, their bicycles, and leashed pets to Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula sections of Acadia National Park in an experience that may become the highlight of your vacation. Relax as you cruise between Bar Harbor and Winter Harbor, unconcerned about traffic or parking during your 40-minute ferry ride. Encounter a lobsterman hauling traps, greet a harbor porpoise surfing the waves, assist a working scientist in discovering more about the health of Frenchman Bay, or simply enjoy another new adventure in Acadia.
Call for weekly research schedules. 2017 research conducted aboard the Schoodic Ferry will likely include: marine mammals surveys, pelagic bird surveys, plankton tows, and water temperature and salinity profile sampling.
