Cadillac Mountain.
Cadillac Mountain is a Majestic Sunrise Spectacle. It's proudly holding the title of the highest peak on the eastern seaboard at 1,530 feet, is a crown jewel of Acadia. The summit promises a breathtaking panorama that is particularly spellbinding during sunrise. To reach the top, visitors can choose between a scenic drive along the Cadillac Summit Road or a more adventurous hike up one of the various trails, such as the Cadillac South Ridge Trail.
Jordan Pond Path.
For those seeking a more leisurely encounter with Acadia's beauty, the Jordan Pond Path is a 3.3-mile loop that takes you around the crystal-clear waters of Jordan Pond. This accessible trail offers serene views of the pond and the distinctive peaks known as the Bubbles.
Precipice Trail.
For those craving an adrenaline rush and a sense of accomplishment, the Precipice Trail beckons. This trail, however, is not for the faint of heart. Carved into the east face of Champlain Mountain, it features challenging rock climbing sections, iron rungs, and ladders that lead to an exhilarating summit.
Thunder Hole.
As the rhythmic heartbeat of the Atlantic, Thunder Hole is a geological marvel that captivates all who witness its symphony. Positioned along the Park Loop Road, this natural rock inlet amplifies the crashing waves into a resounding roar, creating an auditory and visual spectacle.
Carriage Roads.
John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s vision of creating a network of car-free paths for horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians resulted in the creation of Acadia's Carriage Roads. Extending over 45 miles, these crushed rock paths wind through the heart of the park, offering a peaceful and immersive way to explore Acadia's diverse landscapes.
Otter Cliff.
Standing proudly at 110 feet above the Atlantic, Otter Cliff is a formidable granite sentinel along Acadia's coastline. Accessible via the Park Loop Road, this natural wonder provides not only a mesmerizing view of the cliffs but also serves as an ideal vantage point for whale watching during the migration season.
Sand Beach.
Contrary to the rugged terrain that characterizes much of Acadia, Sand Beach stands as a coastal oasis with its fine, light-colored sand. Nestled between towering granite mountains and rocky shores, this unique beach offers a stark contrast to its surroundings.
Bar Harbor.
As the gateway to Acadia, Bar Harbor is a charming coastal town steeped in maritime history and New England allure. A visit to Bar Harbor provides a delightful blend of cultural exploration, culinary indulgence, and a gateway to various outdoor activities.
Acadia Night Sky Festival.
Held annually in September, the Acadia Night Sky Festival celebrates the park's designation as an International Dark Sky Community. This festival is a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of the night sky away from the light pollution of urban areas.
Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.
Perched on the southwestern tip of Mount Desert Island, the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse stands as a sentinel overlooking the rugged coastline. A short trail leads to an observation platform, providing a front-row seat to one of the most iconic views in Acadia.
