    Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Acadia National Park, Maine

    Tucked into the scenic, rocky shores of Maine's Acadia National Park, Bass Harbor Lighthouse on Mount Desert Island is one of the park's major attractions, thanks to its postcard-perfect setting. The lighthouse serves as home to the local Coast Guard unit's commander. Short trails around the tower allow visitors to enjoy spectacular views.
