We spent a day riding the carriage roads, having gotten trail recommendations from the staff the Jordan Pond House in the morning. If you plan to ride from Jordan Pond, and want to eat lunch there, arrive early in the morning to both get a parking place and make a lunch reservation.We went north, along Jordan Pond to Eagle Pond, the Aunt Betty Trail and then around the mountain to the Amphitheater and back to the Jordan Pond House. The ride took about 3.5 hours and was both great exercise and the scenery was wonderful. Early October in the Park is when we will always come, as the temperatures are cool for biking and the foliage is nearing peak.After lunch we drove north and took an easier ride to Witch's Hole, which is not as dramatic as the rides further south.

The Carriage Roads are unique to Acadia, they are a series of trails through the park that are closed to cars, and great for biking/ running /walking. Horses are also allowed on the roads.Make sure you have a good map of the roads, it is also helpful to understand the elevation changes, some get steep for a while and can be a good workout (or you can give up and walk your bike up the hill - no shame).In the fall the leaves are beautiful and even during a holiday weekend, there is plenty of solitude and places to stop and enjoy a snack or picnic (bring in your own).Keep in mind that in some places fill up quickly so you may need to park on the side of the road.Other than the fall, it probably is great here in early summer early in the morning.

These trails / pedestrian roads are great to bike, walk, or run on in Acadia. Starting by Hull's Cove and running towards Eagle Lake was a great set of scenery from Witch Hole Pond to Eagle Lake. Well maintained, no cars, and gorgeous! Best of all, it's away from all the tourists on Cadillac Mountain.Best national park I have ever been to. Driving around Loop Road is also very scenic.

We loved the trial. Our big knock is that there are no mileage indications on the signs. So if you are riding and you decide you may want to see "Bubble Rock" (as we did) you don't know if it is half a mile away or 10 miles away because all you have is an arrow indicating direction. This is really unusual and... well... wrong.The trail itself was fine.

We didn't see anyone on our hour long walk on one of the carriage roads. Well marked and easy walking with a few small hills. Very quiet and peaceful with a few deer and other critters along the way.

We found a nice safe parking lot and unloaded our bikes for a relaxing ride along the sure pack carriage roads. We found the roads to be mildly steep and wide enough to pass or be passed safely. Hiking trails intersect the roads and you can change to a hike if you chose. The carriage roads are lined with carved granite blocks and granite walls. You have to put this on your bucket list!!!

We really enjoyed the well maintained trails on our bikes, a few more hills than I expected but still easy riding. Lovely views and to be among the autumn colurs. We saw very few people walking or cycling so felt very privelidged to enjoy the quiet and peace. Be sure to get your bearings before you start as map,confused us a little and we found ourselves on a path restricted to walkers and carriages so had to backtrack up a hill! Lots of parking and good to get there early in the day before it gets too warm.

Great easy hiking - good for almost any skill level, and you can always weave your way to Jordon's Pond to grab a bite.

The carriage roads were designed by John D Rockefeller and other conservationists. They wanted to protect the park and keep its' natural beauty. Today there are 45 miles of these rustic trails and 17 stone bridges that span roads and waterfalls. The carriage roads are of dirt and yes, you can go for a carriage ride or you can ride your bike or walk...No cars are allowed on these trails. It is a very peaceful area and a way to get a respite from the crowds that are in the park.
