Mt.Desert Rock:Located 25 miles out to sea from Mount Desert Island
and Bar Harbor,
"MDR" is the adventure of a lifetime.
At between 1 & 3 acres of rock-strewn land just 17' above high
tide, we coexist with migrating birds,
whales, dolphins and hundreds of seals "hauled out"
atlow tide.
Opportunity for pelagic birding from land
is a unique experience in the eastern U.S.

 Birds,Seals,Whales:Migrating land and shorebirds in spring and
fall join the seabirds, whales and dolphins easily
seen and photographed from MDR. We observed 94 species of birds on our fall 2006 four day maiden adventure. With only rocks and buildings
for cover, the birds are easily seen and closely approached and photographed. Built in 1874, the lightkeeper's house provides
comfortable, if simple living quarters.
