Asticou Terraces / Thuya Garden

ASTICOU TRAIL.TO THUYA GARDENS, ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

The Asticou hiking trail begins behind the Jordan Pond Tea House, a short path through the woods leads to a carriage road and several hiking trail heads. The trail states its 1.9 miles, but it feels more like 3.9, at least on a hot day. The trail mainly stays to the woods, passing over a stream here and there. There are some sections with roots and rocks, and there are some stone steps here and there, but much of the trail is easy going. A while after turning onto the Thuya Gardens path, the trail becomes more groomed and you get a sense you are indeed approaching gardens. The gardens themselves are within a fenced in area, but there are several wooden doors you can enter them from along the trail. As your leaving the garden area, there are some great views of the harbor. There are also several wooden huts you can take paths to with places to sit that all offer up great views of the harbor and boats in the distance.
