Acadia-area Hiking
This page lists individual hikes, biking outings (including class 1 e-bikes), and rowing (canoeing, kayaking, etc.) in and near Acadia National Park, including most of Mount Desert Island. Walking around the village of Bar Harbor, however, is not included.
Unlike the other travel pages, only "simplified" tracks are presented here. The hikes are presented in order from most recent to earliest.
Unless otherwise stated, all 2025 tracks are from my Garmin eTrex SE GNSS receiver.
