The carriage roads were built and gifted to the park by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in the early 1900s, featuring stone bridges and gentle grades for horse carriages.
Acadia’s carriage roads are actively maintained by park staff and volunteers; follow Leave No Trace, stick to the route and avoid disturbing wetlands to protect fragile habitats.
