Seasonal Closure - Park Loop Road
From December 1 through April 14, most of the Park Loop Road, including the road to Cadillac Mountain, is closed. Weather conditions may require closing the road earlier in the fall or delay opening in the spring. During the winter two short sections of the Park Loop Road remain open all year:
- Scenic one-mile section along the ocean: Access via Schooner Head Road, two miles south of downtown Bar Harbor.
- Access to Jordan Pond: Access via Route 3 and Jordan Pond Road (a town road) in Seal Harbor. Travel north on Jordan Pond Road to the Park Loop Road.
The brochure, Winter in Acadia (pdf-427kb), contains a map showing the open sections of the Park Loop Road.
