The 10 Unmissable Hiking Trails in Acadia National Park, Maine

The 10 Unmissable Hiking Trails in Acadia National Park, Maine

Acadia National Park is one of our favorite hiking destinations in the US—bold to say, but its trails are unique, exciting, and nearly always lead to stunning viewpoints. What we love most is the park’s small size and short roundtrip trail distances, making it feel achievable to tick off top hikes in just a few days. We visited in early October 2020 during our first New England road trip, when the park was quiet post-COVID lockdowns. Staying in a budget motel in Bar Harbor gave us instant access, though restaurants were at reduced capacity. Fall foliage was still vibrant (a week past peak), and daytime hiking weather was fantastic—chilly mornings and evenings just required layers. Our favorite trails? Beehive, Precipice, The Bubbles, Acadia Mountain, and Beech Mountain—all adventurous and scenic. Below, we’ve ranked 10 unmissable hikes from easiest to hardest, with ladder climbs and thrills saving the best for last.
