Jordan Bond House

Great view of Jordan Pond from Carriage Trail. From this point, you are slightly above the Jordan Pond Path, so you get a great view far into the distance.

The Tarn is a glacial meltwater lake. It is in a valley between two peaks, Mt. Dorr and Huguenot Head. The lake was primarily used as a trout fishing site, but as the water level has been steadily declining, it is now primarily used as a source of live bait.

The Cannon Brook Trail is an almost 3-mile long trail that is fairly challenging. There are many rocky sections that can be slippery, so It's important to not attempt this trail unless you have trail running experience.

The Ocean Trail is one of the most popular segments in the park for its stunning coastal and cliffside views. It is highly accessible to families of all ability levels and offers numerous areas where adventurous hikers can picnic or take photos on the rocks.

The Otter Point Overlook is a popular sunrise location which looks eastward to the open Atlantic and westward across the Otter Cove towards Blackwoods Campground. The overlook marks the southwestern end of the family-friendly Ocean Path trail. Visitors should exercise caution when on the rocks off the trail, which may be slippery at times.

The Tarn pond to the east of Dorr Mountain was formed from a glacial meltwater lake. For many years the pond was used to farm trout. The dry summers in the 1990s reduced the water volume and led to an increase in aquatic plants. The pond is now increasingly swampy and is no longer used for fishing. https://www11.maine.gov/ifw/docs/lake-survey-maps/hancock/the_tarn.pdf

At the end of the 19th century, Desert Island became a tourist attraction. The Green Mountain Cog Railway, a cog railway, was in operation from 1883 and took tourists to the summit of Green Mountain, today's Cadillac Mountain (from 1918), where they could enjoy the breathtaking view. The railway ran from Eagle Lake to the summit over a distance of around 1.8 km. When passenger numbers declined, the railway service was discontinued in 1891. In the following years, the railway line was completely dismantled. Today, only remnants of the route remain. The Buckboard Road was built in the late 19th century, leading up to the summit along the north ridge. However, the journey was only possible by horse-drawn carriage and tourists preferred to walk up the mountain. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/secrets-of-the-summit.htm The paved ‘Cadillac Mountain Road’ was completed between 1929 and 1932. The more than six kilometer long route is considered an exceptional example of construction work in mountainous terrain. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/motor-road-history.htm
