Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

This bike trip in Maine reveals the best of Acadia, one of this nation’s smallest National Parks and one of its most scenic. We are in Bar Harbor, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Maine lobster bake at the historic Bar Harbor Inn, our home for the entire length of our stay. Cycle for miles along Acadia’s car-free Carriage Roads, crossing several iconic granite bridges to Northeast Harbor and Asticou Azalea Gardens. Ride on the one-way Park Loop Road, a biking favorite for its dramatic views of the outer islands, surf-sculpted coastline, and lobster boats. Cruise across Frenchman’s Bay to pedal through the small fishing villages and past the historic lighthouses of the Schoodic Peninsula. Get out on the water in a kayak, where you may encounter the local seals and seabirds. Tackle the gradual climb up Cadillac Mountain, whose summit reveals 360-degree views and is the highest point on the east coast, before biking to the Jordan Pond House for a treat of their signature popovers.
