Freshwater Fishing Driving Directions

From Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park Area

​

• You will depart from the public boat launch located on the West Shore Road in Otis, Maine. As the dock does not have a physical address, enter “West Shore Road Otis, ME” into your GPS. The town dock is 1. 4 miles down this road on the right, there will be blue signs for the public boat launch.

​​

• Turn by turn directions:

• From Bar Harbor towards Ellsworth. 

• Once through Ellsworth, follow Route 1A heading out of town towards Bangor. 

• Turn right onto Rt -180 (just past State Police barracks on left).

• Follow Rt -180 then turn left onto the Gary Moore Road (just past Green Lake fish hatchery).

• Follow the Gary Moore Road for 2.5 miles.

• Then turn left onto the West Shore Road (this is a dirt road, disregard the "private road" sign), follow for 1.4 miles and look for the Public Boat Launch sign on the right. Pull in and park in the parking area, your guide will be waiting for you on the dock. 

​​

• Cell phone reception is pretty good in the area, if you have any questions or difficulties, please call EMGS's cell phone 207-610-9922. It will be on the boat.​
