    Acadia offers a variety of activities throughout the year.

    During the summer, spring, and fall, 45 miles of carriage roads are ideal for walking, hiking and biking. In addition, over 115 miles of hiking trails offer spectacular ocean and woodland views. Trails range from easy to strenuous.

    By automobile visitors can drive the 27-mile Park Loop Road which includes views of some of the most dramatic scenery along the eastern seaboard.

    A variety of Ranger-led programs including bird walks, boat cruises, evening slide programs, mountain hikes, stargazing, short talks, and nature walks are available from late May to mid-October.

    Other summer activities include fishing, boating, carriage rides, and wildlife viewing.

    During the winter, the carriage roads and the closed portions of the Park Loop Road are ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
