Jordan Pond Loop

Hiking trail Bar Harbor, Maine, United States

What to expect

Jordan Pond is a beautiful and unique destination, with a loop trail that offers stunning views and a chance to explore Acadia's glacially carved landscape. The pond is the deepest and clearest lake in Acadia, and its surrounding area is home to a variety of wildlife, including gulls, loons, mergansers, frogs, and beavers. The trail is suitable for families and offers a moderate level of difficulty, with some sections featuring wooden planks over boggy areas and uneven granite. Dogs are allowed on the trail on a six-foot leash. The area is also a great place to appreciate the park's geological history, with U-shaped valleys, finger lakes, and ridge lines created by glaciers thousands of years ago
