The Foggiest City In Maine

Mistake Island located in the northeastern part of Bar Harbor. It is one of the foggiest cities in Maine and prompted the need for Moose Peak Lighthouse. Fog was so bad for a number of days in 1916, that the loud blasts of the horn were heard consecutively for 181 hours without stopping. Mistake Island receives over 1,600 hours of fog annually, mostly thanks to the close proximity of the chilly Atlantic Ocean. There are no more lighthouse keepers now. However, tourists flock to the area only by boat to see the fog.
