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

Driving Acadia's Loop Road - Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, Thunder Hole - Acadia National Park
Our first day in Acadia National Park we drive the loop - checking out everything from Sand Beach to Cadillac Mountain! Our first stop was the visitors center, where we got the kids junior ranger books. Next, we hit Loop Road, the road that circles the park and takes visitors to all the main attractions. We dip our toes in the cool water at Sand Beach, listen to the waves at Thunder Hole, walk the nature trail at Jordan Pond and then drive up Cadillac Mountain to see the view. Acadia National Park is stunning and we can't wait to explore more!

Top 8 Destinations in Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park is one of the most incredible places you will ever visit. This national park is known by many as the crown jewel of the north atlantic coast. In this video, I want to share with you 8 of my favorite destinations within this park.
*UPDATE - I FORGOT ONE TOP DESTINATION!! BE SURE TO VISIT BAR HARBOR AS WELL FOR MORE MAINE CULTURE*
Bar Harbor Walking Tour Video:
Starting off with the first spot in acadia, Thunder Hole is an excellent location to see waves crash in to a hole in the rocks, where they make a thunderous boom and spash dozens of feet in the air. This is a destination in Acadia that does not require a hike, and instead can be reached via a parking lot across the road, or by taking the free Acadia National Park shuttle.
Secondly, make sure to stop by the Acadia National Park visitor center. I always recommend talking to a ranger or at least reading the signs in a visitor center so you can be aware of any closed trails, trail maintenance, dangers, as well as the positive things to look for like the history, geology, and biology of the park.
Destination number 3 is Gorham mountain trail, which brings you up to a 525 ft. elevation summit with spectacular views over the coastline. Unfortunately it was crowded during my visit, but this view was still impressive
The fourth destination is Bass Harbor Head Light (lighthouse) which is the iconic short red light house. This light house is historic and offers a beautiful view of the Maine coastline. this is a symbol of Acadia National Park and should not be skipped!
Be sure to indulge in the north atlantic costal culture with some fresh lobster purchased from a local fisherman. Be sure to not pay too much at mass retailers, and instead buy directly from the fishermen.
Destination five is Jordan Pond, Jordan House, and the surrounding carriage trails. These trails are perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring the beautiful nature without much strain. The pond and house offer unique scenerey, and a full service restaurant. If you are looking to go out to eat, I recommend either going to the Jordan Pond House, or perhaps Bar Harbor (
Destination six is Penobscot mountain. I chose the Jordan Cliffs hike to the peak because it is less crowded than Cadillac mountain, and offers an equally amazing view. If you are not up for this hike, you can drive to the summit of cadillac mountain on a non-crowded day (or early in the morning to be the first people in the US to see the sunrise!) Jordan Cliffs Trail is probably the most strenuous hike I encountered in Acadia, so be sure to only take this trail if you are an experienced hiker, and if the rocks are not slippery
Destination seven is a ride along park loop road. I recommend either rifding the free shuttle, or driving this loop to see most of the park
Number eight then is Bubble Rock. This iconic boulder balances on the edge of a cliff. Bubble rock was moved many miles by glaciers long ago and weighs more than two african elephants. This is a must-see and is only a 1 mile hike to the summit.
Thank you for watching!! I hope you enjoy your trip to Acadia National Park!
