If there is outdoor seating, then the pup probably can go.Īfter our wonderful repast, we walked a trail ringing Jordan Pond, and then across one of the many Carriage Roads in the park. As long as a pup is well behaved, I think they are able to go to many of the touristy areas. Everything was wonderful, seated on the lawn (with Molly the pup in tow) on wide benches and heavy tables, with a beautiful view of Jordan Pond, framed by the mountains.Īt this point, I'd like to mention that Bar Harbor, Acadia, and the whole of MDI is very dog friendly. K and I also thought the seafood chowder sounded good, and had some as well. We indulged ourselves as they would have, having afternoon Tea, with Popovers. Originally a farmhouse, it became a restaurant that members of "high society" in the late 1800's frequented. At Jordan Pond, is the Jordan Pond House. Jordan pond is a large glacial lake, with visibility to up to forty feet in depth! The pond serves as the water source for Seal Harbor. Truly a beautiful place!Īfter admiring the views, we stopped at the ranger station, bought some patches for our collection, and then headed back down. Even though our heads were in the clouds, we still managed to get glimpses of Bar Harbor and it's islands below. We walked the summit trail, a walkway the rings the topmost part of the mountain. The vegetation was mostly short, due to the cooler clime, thinner air, and the forceful winds. As we reached the summit, we could see parts were still shrouded in cloud, and mist blew across the parking area. The road twisted and turned up the mountainside, and we had to watch for the sightseers and bicycle riders along the way. We entered Acadia Park a few miles before Bar Harbor, and followed the road to Cadillac Mountain, the highest point within 25 miles of a coastline on the U.S. Not sure if before season, but it was only $10 when it's usually $20. There we got our Park Pass for the car to enter Acadia. First, we stopped at the Ranger station, just a few minutes from our campsite. We headed out later than I would like (but perfect for the girls and beauty sleep) to tour Acadia yesterday. Let's see if I can catch up on yesterday's adventures. Molly the pup and I sacked out by 9:30pm, so I didn't get to write about the fun we had. Last night I was tired from our Travels to Acadia and back to Bar Harbor.
