One of the most beautiful and easy hikes ever. Fall is beautiful out here. If you are planning a trip to Acadia national park, you should definitely visit here.
This was a short but pleasant trail off the loop road to the wild gardens. Despite being short and flat, it still offers some spectacular peeks at the parks mountains, and a boardwalk leading through beautiful birch and fern filled forest areas. A great place to start if you have small children or family members that don’t want to climb a mountain.
These two trails are gorgeous any time of year. The boardwalks are in great shape; traveling through grassy bogs; also includes dirt and gravel paths. Very busy here during peak summer months. I prefer the off-season hikes here so I can take my time without the crowds. These trails are rated as “easy” with very little elevation gain. During the warmer months there are restrooms available at the trailhead parking lot. From the parking lot there are tons of other trail options branching into many different directions; including moderate and strenuous hikes.
A good easy walk to do right as you enter the park. The two paths are just beyond the botanical gardens and take you through and around some wetlands in the forest. The rangers alerted us to an owl that was just off the trail, which was cool to see! The boardwalks over the wetlands were much appreciated, and the path on the way back was wide and well maintained. We were here on a very hot day and it was noticeably cooler in the forest too. Definitely a good stop for seeing a different side of Maine than the rest of Acadia shows.
This was an easy trail. Part of it was on mostly even dirt and the rest was elevated on a boardwalk. Pretty views. Trail starts in wild gardens of acadia.
