The free listing below is initially based on information from the Southwest Harbor and Tremont Chamber of Commerce of year-round lodging, restaurants, shopping and other businesses. An outgrowth of a blog post we did about winter activities in Acadia National Park, this page is part of an evolving series on services available to visitors of Acadia National Park, as well as to area residents.

As the photos on this page, of hikes on the “Quietside” of Acadia, west of Somes Sound, demonstrate, there’s plenty to explore even in winter. Easy hikes like Bass Harbor Head Light, Ship Harbor and Wonderland Trail could be perfect for a snowshoe or bare boot hike, depending upon conditions. If it’s icy, slip-on crampons may be necessary. And the park activities closer to Bar Harbor are a short drive away.

If you know of other businesses or organizations on the “Quietside” that are open some or all of the off-season but are not included, feel free to let us know in a comment below, and we’ll add them to the free listing.

Where Web sites or Facebook pages are available, links are provided; otherwise a phone number is listed. The listings are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness, and are provided for general informational purposes, as a convenience. Inclusion does not constitute a recommendation. Do your usual due diligence before doing business or working with an organization. Remember, confirm a business’s hours by checking the links, or by calling.

This is one of a series of pages we’ll be rolling out, listing year-round and seasonal businesses and organizations in communities around and near Acadia National Park. Be sure to check back for updates, as well as for expanded business listing and advertising opportunities we’re developing. You can also contact us via the About us page.

We’ve just added TripAdvisor(R) reviews where available, to make research and reservations easier. Check the sidebar for information about links in this blog to affiliated partners like TripAdvisor(R).

Think of this as a public service. And feel free to let the business or organization know you saw the listing on Acadia on My Mind!
