Safest route to bar harbor maine

I don't know how long you want to take to get there, but here's a route I like.

I-64 to I-295 to I-95 to Fredricksburg. Then take US17/US50 to I-81 in Winchester.

I-81 to I-80 to E. Stroudsburg PA, then US209 to I-84. You can stop at the Poconos/Delaware Water Gap KOA for the night.

I-84 to I-87 into the Adirondacks. Pick up US4 near Glen Falls NY over towards Rutland VT and work your way up I-91 to the Kancamagus Hwy.

US302 around Sebago Lake in Maine, and then you can work over to I-95 because you're north of the worse traffic at that point.

This is not at all an unreasonable route.

I would probably do the middle section more along the lines of I-81 to I-88 to I-87 (via a short section of the Thruway, which is free of charge if you go between I-88 and I-87 or vice-versa).

From I-87, I'd take exit 20 at Lake George, to NY 149 to US 4, and then in Vermont 22A north to US 7 to I-189 and I-89, and then route 2 across from Montpelier to I-93 at St. Johnsbury and on through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The Kancamagus Highway is one beautiful way to go there, but US2 or 302 are also nice.

I myself very much prefer taking I-81 to I-95 through all the seaboard cities.

If you do go up I-95, be aware that the tunnels around Boston do not permit propane, which means I-93 through (under) the city and I-90 into the city are unusable by RVs. I-95 itself is OK, as are the other interstates further from the city proper.
