The Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park provide 45 miles of auto free cycling. Originally built for horse-drawn carriages, these paths have gentle grades with wide, crushed stone lanes, and are the ideal way to view the park.
Remember, cyclists yield to all users. Everyone yields to horses, which can be startled by sudden movements.
Go to the Acadia National Park website to learn more about our unique Carriage Roads.
