State Route 102 is a north-south state highway located on Mount Desert Island in eastern Maine. As of 2007, its southern terminus is located at an intersection with State Route 102A in Tremont on the southern part of the island. Its northern terminus is at intersection with State Route 3 in Bar Harbor, a terminus it shares with State Route 198.
SR 102 begins in the south at the intersection of Harbor Drive and Tremont Road in Tremont. SR 102A also has its "northern" terminus at this intersection; it is a 3/4 loop serving Bass Harbor to the south. SR 102 runs due north, entering Southwest Harbor and intersecting the other end of SR 102A south of the town center. Continuing north, SR 102 enters the town of Mount Desert and intersects SR 3/SR 198 near the Mount Desert Campground. SR 3 has its eastern terminus at this intersection, but is generally not assigned cardinal directions as it loops the eastern half Mount Desert Island in order to avoid confusion. SR 198 is a "dead-end" coastal route serving Northeast Harbor, located opposite Somes Sound from Southwest Harbor. SR 233, the most direct route to downtown Bar Harbor, is located nearby. Heading north, SR 102 is cosigned with SR 198 as the two routes enter the northwestern corner of Bar Harbor. Just before reaching Thompson Island in on the Trenton town line, the highway meets up with SR 3 once again. SR 102 and SR 198 both terminate at this intersection, with SR 3 continuing north (signed west) onto the Maine mainland.
