Bar Harbor Shore Path Closed to the Public After Storm
The Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association issued the following statement after the devastating storm that impacted Bar Harbor on Wednesday, January 10th.
"The Bar Harbor Shore Path is on land that is privately owned by the abutting landowners. They have for years generously allowed the use of their land. The Shore Path is maintained by the Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association.
In light of today’s storm and the significant damage which has occurred to the shore path from the Bar Harbor Inn to Wayman Lane, and with consideration to public safety, the BHVIA has closed all access points, from the Town Pier, from Grant Park and from Hancock Street and Wayman Lane.
We would ask the public that for everyone’s safety, this closure be respected until further notice."
