Acadia National Park Eagle Lake Carriage Road

We visited Acadia National Park in 2014 and saw the main features of the park at that time, including walking/rolling a short distance on the Eagle Lake road which is listed as fairly easy on the park website. This time we decided to try completing the 6 mile loop around the lake. The website mentions that there's a steep hill at the southwest end of the lake but doesn't say it's a mile up. We finished the entire loop but we were tired! The rest of the park was very busy so we drove the Park Loop Road but didn't stop anywhere.

 

  

The Eagle Lake Carriage Road is in good condition. The terrain is rolling with gentle ups and downs except for the one steep hill.

Short RVs will fit in the parking lot at the north end of the lake.

RVers are provided with a park map that shows all of the low clearance bridges and roads that are closed to RVs. Island Explorer shuttles are free and accessible - a good option instead of driving. The shuttles do not go to the overlook at Cadillac Mountain. RVs are not permitted either - a change from our previous visit. Park  44.37791, -68.25229
