Sieur de Monts Spring

Secret spot in Acadia National Park ... The Beaver Dam Pond sits along one of the nicest wooded stretches of the Park Loop Road.

N/A
In addition to Acadia's beautiful hiking trails, there are also over 45 miles of carriage roads built by millionaire philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. between 1913 and 1940. Originally conceived as a way to give city folk an escape to the natural world, the carriage road system wanders through some of the best forested and lakeside scenery and is enjoyed by bikers, hikers, and horseback and horse-drawn carriage riders alike. Rockefeller also financed, designed, and supervised the construction of 16 majestic stone bridges that were built at several stream and gorge crossings throughout the carriage road system. Since each bridge is a unique work of art, it is fun to try to visit them all!

Easy to Follow Directions

Directions were easy to follow and definitely made our experience driving through Acadia even better! I recommend downloading everything prior because you will lose service in the park
Great tour at our pace and preference
Published on Nov, 2024
Each lookout had a story.
Otter cliffs was incredible.
Hiking the carriage trails to Jordan house was so fun which had an awesome observation deck showing The Bubbles.
Effortless Stunning Tour
Published on Nov, 2024
This was incredible, informative, the info made it more fun. We got out and hiked 4 miles of carriage roads around Jordan Pond with our 2 dogs and had so much fun. Then we finished the driving tour at Cadillac summit.
Great audio and guide for self-guided tour
Published on Nov, 2024
I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace. Very informative. I would certainly use this feature for other parks.
My new favorite way to travel!
Published on Oct, 2024
This was great! Even without cell phone service, the gps feature worked well and the audio started at each point of interest. Interesting facts, history, and stories of the area. We enjoyed this so much that we downloaded an audio tour of the White Mountains in New Hampshire and took that tour the following day. I love this app!
