Acadia National Park Carriage Trail: The Eagle Lake Loop - Bar Harbor Maine Mountain Bike Trails

Within Acadia are mountains, rivers, lakes, and over 55 miles of gated gravel roads for the cyclist to explore. This ride gives you only a glimpse of the varied terrain, but it's perfect for anyone looking for an exhilarating morning or afternoon pedal. Groups will have no problem staying together and kid trailers and hybrid bikes roll smoothly along the Lake Loop that encircles Eagle Lake. Lake Loop's scenery, easy terrain, and proximity to Eagle Lake make it a popular ride in the summer. Trail Surface: Smooth, gated gravel roads, wide enough for groups of riders to pedal abreast
