**Location & Access**
Bartlett Landing in Mount Desert provides convenient boat ramp access to Bartlett Narrows, a popular paddling destination in coastal Maine. Located near Acadia National Park, this site offers easy launch access for kayaks, canoes, and small boats exploring the scenic narrows and surrounding waters.
**Paddling & Navigation**
Bartlett Narrows offers sheltered saltwater paddling through a scenic coastal passage. Paddlers should note that most shoreline is private property—respect posted boundaries. Acadia National Park's Pretty Marsh picnic area is one of the few public spots in the region. The area is well-charted with several good anchorages and lunch stops, including Galley Cove on Bartlett Island's east side and spots near Squid Island and Great Cove, making it ideal for day trips or longer explorations.
