Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park offer visitors a wide variety of cycling opportunities. The Park's 35,000 acres include 57 miles of beautifully engineered, gravel carriage roads.
Weave your way through cool evergreen forests, around crystal clear lakes, across handsome granite bridges, and past lush wetlands - home to beavers, birds, chipmunks, and an occasional deer. Or cruise the Park Loop Road - 20 smooth, paved miles along Maine's majestic, rocky ocean coast. Stop at Sand Beach. Experience Thunder Hole. The views are unforgettable.
There is no better way to experience our island than on a bicycle.
