Acadia by Carriage operates from Wildwood Stables and offers equestrian access to the heart of Acadia National Park. Guests can board horses at Wildwood Stables and explore over 45 miles of scenic carriage roads originally developed by John D. Rockefeller Jr. — a rare landscape where carriage roads and ocean views meet. Acadia by Carriage provides a range of experiences: narrated carriage tours highlighting Rockefeller's stone bridges, scenic rides around Day Mountain (the park's only carriage-road summit), and multi-night horse camping with well-equipped sites. Facilities include stalls for boarding horses, on-site amenities for horse care, water spigots, and RV hookups. Supplies are available for purchase on-site to support longer stays. Stalls and campsite capacity are clearly stated to help riders plan: Wildwood Stables lists dedicated horse stalls and nine established campsites along the carriage road network. Signature narrated tours bring park history to life with commentary on the stone bridges and coastal panoramas. Acadia by Carriage emphasizes safety, convenience, and authentic outdoor experiences. Third-party travelers appreciate the unique combination of equestrian access, maintained carriage roads, and interpretive tours that connect visitors to Acadia’s historic landscape. Clear facilities, available supplies, and accessible parking help make multi-night stays practical for riders and families seeking a nature-first equestrian getaway.
