Mountain Biking the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor, Maine
Today we are visiting the stunning Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine. Much to my chagrin there is no mountain biking on the island, but of course that wasn’t enough to stop me from finding an excuse to ride. Way back in the early 20th century a vast network of crushed stone roads were built throughout Acadia National Park for the use of hikers, horse riders, and most importantly, bikers. No cars allowed thank you very much. These trails, commonly referred to as the “Carriage Roads” are in my option one of the coolest ways to experience the park, soak in its beautiful features all while pedaling your little heart out.
But I wasn’t alone for this adventure. My wife and our good friends Jon, Judy, and their daughter all saddled up for our 20 mile, five and a half hour tour of the Carriage Roads.
Along the way we stopped at a handful of the beautiful, granite bridges built throughout the carriage roads. Each one was individually designed with the intent to both blend into the background and be a work of art to admire all on their own.
Once you are done checking out the bridges be sure to plan ahead so you can grab lunch at the Jordan Pond House. This restaurant is right inside the park, has a sweet name, and the expectedly fantastic views are matched by delicious food and drink.
The week we spend exploring the park is something I look forward to doing every year. I am so glad that this year I was able to share our biking adventure with you. If you want to see more videos like this one click subscribe and drop me a note below what you thought of Acadia National Park.
Thank you so much for watching. Now it’s your turn, get out there and ride.

Once upon a time on a perfect autumn day in Maine a family visited Acadia national park and climbed straight up the side of the fricken Beehive!
Great trip all around. I couldn't have asked for better weather or better company to hike the Beehive in Acadia. We hiked straight up Beehive and down the backside into The Bowl.
These are the days we live for.

Loop Road Attractions - Acadia National Park - Maine - USA
Attraits touristiques - Route panoramique - Parc National Acadia - Maine - États-Unis
Coordonnées GPS: 44°24'32.3N 68°14'50.4W
Il n'existe qu'un seul parc national sur la côte Est américaine et c'est celui-ci. Il est très fréquenté par les américains, mais peu connu de nous les québécois.
Nos voisins nous avaient déjà parlé de Bar Harbor, localité située à proximité du parc national. La curiosité aidant et désirant découvrir de nouveaux horizons, nous avons décidé de nous y rendre et y passer une fin de semaine.
Ce parc est situé sur l'île des Monts Déserts (Mount Desert Island). Il s'agit d'un secteur protégé et des frais d'entrée sont exigés.
En fait, le coût de la passe est de 25 $ US par voiture et elle est valide pour une période de 7 jours. On peut se la procurer directement au Centre des Visiteurs à l'entrée du parc ou directement sur le web à l'adresse suivante: .
On retrouve dans ce parc mer, plages, lacs et montagnes. C'est pourquoi une multitude d'activités y sont proposées: randonnées pédestres ou en vélo, kayak, paddle board, croisières, etc.
En ce qui nous concerne, pour cette première visite, nous emprunterons la Loop Road en voiture. Il s'agit en fait d'une route panoramique de 43 km qui nous permet de découvrir les différents attraits touristiques du parc.
La grande majorité du parcours est à sens unique et celui-ci offre des points de vue exceptionnels sur le littoral, les lacs et montagnes.
En premier lieu, nous nous sommes arrêtés à un belvédère afin d'avoir une vue panoramique de la ville de Bar Harbor (voir vidéo C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai découvert qu'il existait un tombolo reliant Bar Harbor à Bar Island.
Un tombolo est créé lorsque la marée est basse. L'eau se retire, permettant un étroit passage qui relie la côte et l'île.
Je me suis informée de la prochaine marée basse. Elle serait à 17h30. Nous nous y rendrons donc en fin de journée (voir vidéo
Nous avons fait un court arrêt au Beaver Dam Pond. Nous n'avons vu aucun castor lors de notre visite. Seule une grosse grenouille a attiré notre attention.
Nous avons également fait un arrêt à Sand Beach, l'unique plage de sable de ce parc (voir vidéo ainsi qu'au Thunder Hole, une petite baie dans laquelle les vagues viennent se fracasser (voir vidéo
Quelques arrêts également le long des falaises ainsi qu'à Otter Cove et puis nous avons fait une petite pause au Jordan Pond House sur l'heure du midi pour s'y restaurer.
Il y avait une longue file d'attente au restaurant. Nous nous sommes donc dirigés à l'étage supérieur. Il y a une petite boutique offrant soupe, sandwiches et grignotines. Le tout était succulent. Cependant, le total de la facture est plutôt élevé.
Un petit détour sur les rives du Lac Jordan nous a permis d'observer un couple pratiquer le paddle bord avec leurs deux petits chiens à leur côté.
Et puis, nous avons pris la route qui mène au sommet du mont Cadillac afin d'avoir une vue panoramique non seulement du parc, mais également de tout le littoral, incluant Bar Harbor (voir vidéo

riding the carriage roads in acadia national park ~ mt. desert island, maine ~ september 30, 2010
~ another remarkable feature of acadia national park are the carriage roads that criss-cross the east side of the island. mr. rockefeller had these built in the 30s so that he could bring his guests into the interior of the island with relative ease. now, they are used for hiking and biking and horseback riding and they are sooo fun!
The Beehive, Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
This GoPro video shows the second part of the hike up Beehive Mountain, where the hike turns into a lot of boulder scrambling, aided by iron rungs that have been added to the rocks. The small blue paint spots mark the trail.
The video was shot on Thursday October 17th 2013, the first day the park reopened after the US government shutdown.

Hike the trails of Acadia! Seems simple enough but so many don't do it. plan on hiking at least one hill top route during your stay.

FIRST SUNRISE in the USA - Acadia National Park
In this video we make our way to our northernmost point on the east coast (Acadia National Park). While there we spent a few nights at the Walmart just outside the park which was filled with other travelers and even got to spend time in one of the campgrounds in the park. Some of the spots in the park we visited were beehive, sand beach and Cadillac Mountain along with many others. Cadillac Mountain sunrise at 9:10.

Acadia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about nature park Acadia in the USA.
The Acadia National Park is located in the North Eastern region of Maine in the United States and measures 142 square kilometres The close proximity of the North Atlantic Ocean to the coastal forest landscape is one of the park’s irresistible attractions.During fall, the season in which New England is at its most magnificent, the forests come alive with soft, warm colours and the entire landscape becomes transformed by this ‘fifth season’ of the year. Thunder Hole is a further attraction. Onlookers seem almost awe struck when witnessing the relentless might of the Atlantic and the unexpected sound of thunder that emanates from a small cave within the granite cliffs caused by the sea as it floods into the air-filled cave thus releasing the air pressure from within with fantastic, thunderous effect. Loop Road is a scenic route that travels from coast to countryside and passes a picturesque and charming semi-timbered house, the Jordan Pond Gate House, built by John D. Rockefeller in1932. Created from a glacier, Jordan Pond is relatively deep and at its northern end there are two round hills, the ‘Bubbles’ from the summit of which the vast landscape of the glowing forest below is even more impressive. Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the North Atlantic coast. The scant vegetation of this area is quite surprising especially as it is in such close proximity to the nearby forests. During September, when the first so-called ‘leaf reports’ are announced in the newspapers and on television, there’s an air of excitement. The beginning of the Indian Summer is the time of the ‘Leaf Peepers.’ Whether they travel to the park by car, foot, horse and carriage or by way of a rented mountain bike, visitors to Acadia’s beautiful forests have a wide selection of leaves from which to choose. During fall, the red and orange of the maple trees and the golden yellow hues of aspen and birch melt together in a breathtaking carpet of colour that seems to cover the entire country. Acadia is a veritable arcadia!
