The carriage trails around Eagle Lake have accessible lakeside running and biking for all ages and ability levels. Sections of the carriage roads at the south end of the lake are steeper and more difficult. Eagle Lake is an ancient glacial lake formed by the last ice age and the second largest body of fresh water in the park.

Eagle Lake Carriage Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At almost exactly 10K the Eagle Lake Carriage Road is a great place for a family ride. The road is wide and even when busy you should have any easy time navigating around other trail users. There are numerous spots to get close to the water and have a rest.

Witch Hole Pond Carriage Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Acadia is possibly the best National Park to explore on a bike. Witch Hole Pond Carriage Road is one of many throughout the park with excellent surfacing, making it accessible to the whole family. Of course the autumn leaves are stunning, but don't feel like it's not worth visiting the rest of the year. Each season has it's own unique charms and attractions.

Hulls Cove Visitor Center

Highlight • Rest Area

The Hulls Cove Visitor Center in Bar Harbor, Maine, is the primary visitor center for Acadia National Park and a great place to start your visit. Before you go, check the seasonal hours on the park's website. There is a covered pavilion in the parking lot to gather information and catch the Island Explorer bus, which is a great way to get around the park during the busy summer season. There are 52 stone steps to the visitor center, where you can purchase your entrance pass, consult with rangers for trip planning, explore the Artist-In-Residence program's art, and visit the gift shop for souvenirs. If you need an accessible entrance, follow signs to the rear of the building.
