Winter Harbor Maine

Winter Harbor is a small town on the coast in Hancock County.  It is located approximately 25 miles east of Ellsworth, Maine, on Route 186.   Winter Harbor has a total area of approximately 66 square miles of which about 78% is water.

The Town has three lovely harbors, one of which is filled year round with fishing boats and has a public wharf.  Local fishermen have long maintained their ruggedly independent way of life but co-exist easily with the summer visitors and mariners alike.  The other two harbors are mainly used for seasonal boating, one with a private yacht club on its shore.  The Town has magnificent views westward to the hills of Mount Desert Island, and is the gateway to the Schoodic Point section of Acadia National Park.  All roads in Winter Harbor lead to the ocean with its sometimes spectacular displays of wave and surf, its velvety and mysterious fogs and its breathtaking reflections of both sunset and moonlight on Frenchman Bay.
