Unpack your bags only once during your active vacation while enjoying each evening in luxurious oceanfront lodging located directly on beautiful Frenchman’s Bay. Bike along gorgeous routes in Acadia National Park. Sail on a Maine Windjammer, kayak along the rocky shoreline, and hike to a lovely vantage point above the island-studded coast.
The spectacular scenery of Acadia National Park offers unparalleled bike routes along the dramatic coastline and the peaceful Carriage Roads. There are some 45 miles of these automobile-free roads winding through spruce forest and past pristine lakes in the interior of the park.
Captivating coastal routes provide stunning views of the outer islands, surf-sculpted coastline, lobster boats, and the sea. Enjoy a cruise across to Schoodic Peninsula to bike for miles along the quiet roads of the forgotten side of Acadia. Here you will cycle through small working fishing villages, and along rocky coves and bold oceanfront.
Harbor seal encounters are likely when you take to the water under your own power during a guided kayak excursion. Paddling these sturdy craft in the sheltered waters surrounding the island is a fabulous way to gain a different perspective of the park. Enjoy a favorite local hike along a granite-lined trail. Views over the bays and islands from the open summit are sure to captivate you. For a change of pace, visit several excellent museums and many shops within a short walk of the Inn, or join a whale watch.
Visit the bustling town of Northeast Harbor before cycling past dozens of summer "cottages" lining tree-canopied streets overlooking the sea. The town is a favored summer retreat for generations of wealthy New Englanders. Stop to marvel at the fjord-like Somes Sound during a picturesque ride along its shores.
Cycle to the famed Jordan Pond House and enjoy traditional popovers and tea on the lawn overlooking the water. Adventurous souls can opt to challenge themselves by biking up Cadillac Mountain - the highest point on the eastern seaboard - and a climb recently named by Bicycling Magazine as one of the top 100 in America.
The diverse scenery and natural beauty of the region will transfix you at every turn. Join Sojourn Bicycling for an Acadia sojourn that will leave this timeless wonder etched forever in your mind.
