In Acadia National Park there are more than 120 miles of historic marked hiking trails. Many of these trails were established by local village improvement societies in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today many of the historic features, such as stonework, are still visible.There are 17 mountains to climb. The Carriage Road consists of over 50 miles of broken stone roads built by John Rockefeller, Jr. which he later donated to the park. There are 18 stone bridges in the park. The Park Loop Road is 27 miles long. You can get to Sand Beach, Cadillac Mountain and Otter Cliffs on the Park Loop Road. In the park you will find 20 lakes and ponds.

  1. Hi Annie and Frank - we have been skiing some of the same routes ... hopefully our skiing paths will cross soon and we can say Hi as we sail past each other! This year has been much better than last year and I am hoping tomorrow's snow makes it even better. Thanks for sharing, Louise Lopez and Peter Wells
