Driving down Cadillac Mountain.
The scenic 27-mile Park Loop Road system begins at Hulls Cove Visitor Center and offers access to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, Otter Cliffs, Jordan Pond, and Cadillac Mountain. Most of the Park Loop Road is closed for the winter beginning December 1 every year. Severe weather may force the closure earlier. The road re-opens on April 15, weather permitting. For more information, visit the Road Closures page.
