‪We went on the architectural bridge tour and really learned a lot about the Carriage Roads, Acadia Nat'l Park and the Rockefellers. Our guide, Carrie, was a lot of fun, very interesting and unbelievably knowledgeable about the carriage roads. The tour was two hours long, which was the perfect amount of time. A beautiful way to see the park.‬

‪Our family loved this! We arrived after a long drive and we were worried about rain, but we went anyway. We parked on 233 at the north end of Eagle Lake and walked our bikes onto the carriage roads. Then, we planned to go to the Jordan restaurant at the southern tip of Jordan Pond or maybe around the lake! The trails were perfect gravel roads for our family, but my youngest (7) had yet to move up to a gear bike so the long hills were a bit hard on her. She made it though! We stopped for views and counting frogs, and the trails were easy to follow when combining the signs with the a photo of the online map. It was gorgeous! A few tips: there isn't any cell reception on the trails, so download an offline map on Google maps before you go. The Jordan Restaurant is packed. We didn't stay and opted for our own snacks instead. It's more hilly than we thought it was going to be. Fine for adults, but my 7 and 10 kids were toasted after 10 mi. Watch out for all the e-bike rentals. They go way too fast and don't have healthy respect or understanding for the kiddos struggling up a hill on their bikes. A couple times I was pretty scared we'd get knocked. From the top of Eagle Lake to the tip of Jordan Pond and back took us about 2 hours with stops. We went about 9.5 miles by my watch.‬
