With over 47 miles of carriage roads available they are a draw for bikers, hikers, joggers and in some areas for horse back riders. If you didn't bring a bike along one can be rented at one of the three bike rental shops along Cottage Street in downtown Bar Harbor. Parking is available at the Eagle Lake parking lot as well as at the Eagle Lake boat landing, but on most days you need to park along route 233 - the Eagle Lake Road. Hiking trails are toward the other end of the lake but a good hike or jog is from Eagle Lake to Witch Hole Pond. You can bike or drive to Eagle Lake, or hop on the free Island Explorer buses at the Bar Harbor Village Green - you want the number 5 (Southwest Harbor bus) or the number 6 (Brown Mountain bus), but stops at Eagle Lake are by request so be sure to let the driver know in advance you want to get off at Eagle Lake - and yes, on most days if your looking toward the sky you can spot an Eagle or two.
