207 Acadias Enticing Trails

Title: Acadia's Enticing Trails. This sign shows an aerial view of Cadillac Mountain with three photos of historic trail work in the top left.

Follow the footsteps of early trailblazers and European settlers on Acadia’s extensive trail system. In the mid-1800s “rusticators” came to the island and followed these routes through the woods, along the rocky coastline, and up the rugged mountains. Later wealthy summer residents built new trails and sponsored memorial paths— some with stone steps and iron-rung ladders up steep cliffs. In the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps enhanced the system leaving Acadia with 270 miles of trails. Today the park staff and volunteers maintain over 120 miles of trails.
