Admittedly we can be tricky to find, but you’ll love the location once you find us. Take Route 3 from Ellsworth into the village of Bar Harbor. Turn left on Cottage Street. At the end of Cottage Street take a right onto Main Street and immediately look left for Bar Harbor Bank & Trust on the left side of the street. Turn left at the flag pole just past the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust drive-through entrance. Proceed to The Field, a small road which begins at the rear of the bank parking lot.
