Alcohol Policy

To help ensure your safety and the safety of other park visitors, the park's policy regarding the use and possession of alcohol is as follows:

  • Consuming alcohol in any public building, in parking lots and pull-outs, or on designated swim beaches (Sand Beach, Echo Lake, and the shoreline of Lake Wood) is prohibited.
  • Alcohol is also prohibited along the shoreline within ¼ mile of the cliff and swimming area known as “Tyson Camp,” “Ranger Camp,” or “the Cliffs,” located on the southeast end of Long Pond.
  • It is illegal to be in the park when under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
  • The possession of alcoholic beverages by a minor (less than 21 years old) is prohibited.
The wide carriage road is lined by the spring foliage of birch trees.  

Did You Know?
Acadia National Park's carriage road system, built by John D. Rockefeller Jr., has been called “the finest example of broken stone roads designed for horse-drawn vehicles still extant in America.” Today, you can hike or bike 45 miles of these scenic carriage roads in the park.
