The Rim Trail follows the Pleasant River as it drops over 400 feet through a gorge, creating a series of epic waterfalls. The trail is technical and you can expect to climb over root steps and large boulders in places. This is best treated as an adventure run, since you ought to stop and follow the side trails to the river to take in the views of the gorge.

This is the northern end of the famed 2,135 mile Appalachian Trail. It ends at the highest of three peaks on Mount Katahdin: Baxter Peak at 5,268 feet. It is also the tallest mountain in the state of Maine. Katahdin literally means Greatest Mountain. Around the mountain, you can find black bear, deer, moose, a unique butterfly called Katahdin Arctic and lots of birds. A famous route is the so-called Knife´s Edge between Baxter Peak and Pamola Peak. Don´t underestimate the weather on Katahdin, it can be dangerous with slippery passages when snowed on or if sight is limited. Trails may be closed for periods due to weather and winter conditions.

The Man of War Brook Outlook is a short spur from the Acadia Mountain Trail near the Acadia / Man O War junction. The outlook takes you down to the water and gives hikers a close up view of Somes Sound. This makes a great little detour between Acadia and Saint Sauveur mountain.
