 it is worth the hike! by richiecdisc
It is a small park and the hikes are short so you don't have to carry a lot of stuff with you if you start early and if the weather is clear. Still, it's good to bring water and a wind breaker. Good boots are a plus as the trails can be rocky and you don't want to twist an ankle and ruin your hike. Leave a Comment Theme: Hiking

 Karen Hiking around Jordan
Pond by Stephen-KarenConn, 2 more photos
Karen and I took a few short hikes along these trails. The one we enjoyed most was the 4 mile loop trail around Jordan Pond. It was extremely scenic. The trail was gravel for most of the way, but a considerable portion of it was along a boardwalk over a wooded wetland area.
For those who are more energetic, many of the trails of Acadia lead up and over the several small mountains that are scattered throughout the Park.

 Sand Beach, Acadia National
Park by Stephen-KarenConn
Even if you don't get wet, Sand Beach can afford a great place to play, picnic or sunbathe. A short access road leads to the beach, just south of the Park Loop Road Entrance Station. There is a parking area and Restrooms/changing rooms are available. Leave a Comment

The carriage roads run all over the park.These are gravel roads closed to cars. They make pretty easy and enjoyable biking for everybody. You can pass by beautifull ponds, forests and mountains and let your feet cool off in one of the wonderfull lakes. I highly recommend doing this! They start about a mile away from the bike shop and you'll have to conquer a hill first.
We rented a bike on Main street. There are a number of shops offering bikes. They were very helpfull and discussed routes and gave us a map. You can rent a bike for a couple of hours or a whole day. They said: "we'll see about that when you come back", but we didn't want to test their kindness and came back in time for the cheapest option.

 Diana cruises over a bridge by worldtrekker
A helmet is advisable. Also bring a day pack with water, some food, a warm fleece or shirt and a raincoat. Don't forget your camera! There are several places in Bar Harbor to rent your bike from. We used Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop. They charge $12 for a half day and $17 for a full day. A helmet, a lock and a map are included.
