Southwest Harbor City Center
One of the top things to do in Southwest Harbor is accessible from the City Center. It’s from here that you can find the Flying Mountain Trail. This trail is a 1.5 mile loop up to the summit of a small mountain. There are lots of steps, but the views are worth it! From the summit you can enjoy views of the Sommes Sound to the east, and the ocean and islands to the south. The trailhead is located on Fernald Point Road. Leashed dogs are welcome, but don’t forget the waste bags and water! After working up an appetite, treat yourself to some delicious fresh caught lobster at Beal’s Lobster Pier. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating, where you can watch the boats roll in as you eat.
