Ocean Path - Acadia National Park Trail
This was taken while walking by the ocean on the last day of my vacation July 19, 2014. This is the first video I successfully made using a phone. I was in a hurry making this one because the one I spent 45 minutes making while going the opposite direction on the path did not record. I'm pleased with this video because it reminds me of this awesome day at Acadia Park, makes me feel like I'm right there again enjoying the best of both worlds hiking and the ocean.
Hiking the Ocean Path (Maine)
First day of autumn – but a very warm day. Hiked 8 miles earlier in the day, but couldn’t resist hiking 4 more miles in the late afternoon at this very scenic paved path/trail called Ocean Path. We start at Sand Beach – one of 2 swimming beaches in Acadia, then encounter the trail head for Ocean Path. It closely parallels the jagged coastline and the Park Loop Road. It continues for 2 miles until it reaches Otter Point at the south end of the peninsula. There are many places along the path where the hiker can venture toward the coast and explore. Late afternoon attracts many photographers seeking a perch on the rocks to capture that perfect sunset shot. This path has a long history. The philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. recognized the future need for public access to the shore and commissioned the paving of this trail. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps made many improvements that exist today. Ocean Path is a must for anyone visiting Acadia and late afternoon offers the best views. Some tall waves crashing onto the rocks would have made for more dramatic scenes, but alas, the ocean was calm for the entire 10 days I was there…but it did allow me to venture onto the rocks close to the waterline.

Hiking & Sunset
I finally got the courage to drive the BMW! I drove us to Sand Beach in Acadia National Park where we started our hiking journey along the Ocean Path. We walked along the rocky coast to the famous Thunder Hole, though unfortunately the tides were not in our favor :(. We would have gone further to Otter Cliff (next time), but we had to make it back in time for our lunch reservation at Portside Grill.
Sailing time! We took the Sunset Windjammer Cruise on the Margaret Todd schooner - the only working 4-masted sailing vessel in New England. Derek himself helped raise the sails! Very relaxing, with a live entertainer playing requests on his guitar, and gorgeous views of the sun beginning to set over the bay. Of course the best part was capturing a Bald Eagle in all its glory high up in the trees on one of the islands. Dinner was at McKay's Public House where we had our own private room. Appetizers to die for - Baked Brie in phyllo dough and Wexford Potato Cakes. Sooo good! Derek got the Lobster Mac & Cheese while I dined on McKay's Shepherd's Pie.
Maine Road Trip Day 3 - Hiking Beehive Trail Otter Cliffs Sand Beach Thunder Hole Acadia
The third day of the road trip to Maine was spent in Acadia National Park hiking Beehive Trail, Otter Cliffs, Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. The evening was spent in Bar Harbor at Gailyn's and ending with lobster ice cream!
Hiking around Jordan Pond and Bar Harbor
This is my last Acadia video. After spending 10 days hiking, climbing, and exploring places (and avoiding crowds) you return home and inevitably get peppered with questions like “but, did you see the Jordan Pond House and Bar Harbor?” Rather than answer “no”, it’s best to check them out. But for me the best part of hiking the Jordan Pond Path was looking up at the mountains on all 3 sides of the pond and knowing that I had climbed to the top of all of them.

Acadia National Park is an American national park located in the state of Maine, southwest of Bar Harbor. The park preserves about half of Mount Desert Island, many adjacent smaller islands, and part of the Schoodic Peninsula on the coast of Maine. Acadia was initially designated Sieur de Monts National Monument by proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. Sieur de Monts was renamed and redesignated Lafayette National Park by Congress in 1919—the first national park in the United States east of the Mississippi River and the only one in the Northeastern United States. The park was renamed Acadia National Park in 1929. More than 3.5 million people visited the park in 2018.
Native Americans of the Algonquian nations have inhabited the area called Acadia for at least 12,000 years. They traded furs for European goods when French, English, and Dutch ships began arriving in the early 17th century. The Wabanaki Confederacy has held an annual Native American Festival in Bar Harbor since 1989. Samuel de Champlain named the island Isle des Monts Deserts (Island of Barren Mountains) in 1604. The island was granted to Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac by Louis XIV of France in 1688, then ceded to England in 1713. Summer visitors, nicknamed rusticators, arrived in 1855, followed by wealthy families, nicknamed cottagers as their large houses were quaintly called cottages. Charles Eliot is credited with the idea for the park. George B. Dorr, the Father of Acadia National Park, along with Eliot's father Charles W. Eliot, supported the idea through donations of land, and advocacy at the state and federal levels. John D. Rockefeller Jr. financed the construction of carriage roads from 1915 to 1940. A wildfire in 1947 burned much of the park and destroyed 237 houses, including 67 of the millionaires’ cottages.
The park includes mountains, an ocean coastline, coniferous and deciduous woodlands, lakes, ponds, and wetlands encompassing a total of 49,075 acres (76.7 sq mi; 198.6 km2) as of 2017. Key sites on Mount Desert Island include Cadillac Mountain—the tallest mountain on the eastern coastline and one of the first places in the United States where one can watch the sunrise—a rocky coast featuring Thunder Hole where waves crash loudly into a crevasse around high tides, a sandy swimming beach called Sand Beach, and numerous lakes and ponds. Jordan Pond features the glacially rounded North and South Bubbles (rôche moutonnées) at its northern end, while Echo Lake has the only freshwater swimming beach in the park. Somes Sound is a five-mile (8 km) long fjard formed during a glacial period that reshaped the entire island to its present form, including the U-shaped valleys containing the many ponds and lakes. The Bass Harbor Head Light is situated above a steep, rocky headland on the southwest coast—the only lighthouse on the island.
The park protects the habitats of 37 mammalian species including black bears, moose and white-tailed deer, seven reptilian species including milk snakes and snapping turtles, eleven amphibian species including wood frogs and spotted salamanders, 33 fish species including rainbow smelt and brook trout, and as many as 331 birds including various species of raptors, songbirds and waterfowl. In 1991, peregrine falcons had a successful nesting in Acadia for the first time since 1956. Falcon chicks are often banded to study migration, habitat use, and longevity. Some trails may be closed in spring and early summer to avoid disturbance to falcon nesting areas.
Recreational activities from spring through autumn include car and bus touring along the park's paved loop road; hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding on carriage roads (motor vehicles are prohibited); rock climbing; kayaking and canoeing on lakes and ponds; swimming at Sand Beach and Echo Lake; sea kayaking and guided boat tours on the ocean; and various ranger-led programs. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. Two campgrounds are located on Mount Desert Island, another campground is on the Schoodic Peninsula, and five lean-to sites are on Isle au Haut. The main visitor center is at Hulls Cove, northwest of Bar Harbor.
