THE CARRIAGE ROADS OF ACADIA NATIONAL PARK
Ejoy this video I shot of the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. There are over 27 miles of trails just like this, where you can ride a bike, jog, walk, or ride a horse. Horses can be rented at Wildwood stables inside the national park. As you can see from just the short video I shot, you will definately want to take along a camera or two. The surface of these carriage roads are hard and smooth and you can really pick up some speed, so ride with care unless you want to end up taking a free trip on a lifeflight helicopter. As the video shows, you will come to sign posts at every intersection that will direct you where each section leads and how long each section is. And as you ride, you will pass over and under stone bridges, pass by ponds and lakes, as well as pass through woods and valleys. Feel free to download a copy of the video as well.

A DAY IN ACADIA NATIONAL PARK
This is another video I shot this past year in Acadia National Park, as me and my wife and kids hiked from Blackwoods Campground in Otter Creek to the one way section of the park loop road. We followed the Otter Cliff trail for much of the way, taking a break at Thunder Hole before continueing on to the fee station. Sorry, but it was low tide and the footage was not that great of Thunder Hole. But overall, I think you will enjoy the free video, and feel free to download a copy of it if you want to.
