Category: Acadia Carriage Roads & Trails

After 35 years with the National Park Service—most of it as
Trails Foreman—Gary Stellpflug knows just about every inch
of Acadia’s 155-mile trail system.

A new accessible carriage was added to the fleet of carriages used by park concessionaire, Carriages of Acadia, for tours in the park.

This spring, Acadia’s hiking trails were listed in the national register, recognizing their national historic significance and ties to the history of MDI and Acadia National Park.

Early on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, rain began to fall. It had been hot, and the warm air held a lot of moisture. Inches of rain fell within a few hours.

Passion, perseverance, and partnership. That pretty much sums up the success of the Acadia Winter Trails Association (AWTA) over the last 30 years.

Restoring every foot of Acadia National Park’s 45 miles of historic carriage roads has taken a lot of time, a lot of effort and no small amount of money.

With 80 miles of open roads on Mount Desert Island and 45 miles of carriage roads, there are plenty of biking options.
