FOR THE ADVENTUROUS AND HARDY

Wonderland Trail
The Wonderland Trail parking area is located west of Seawall Campground on Route 102A. Following an abandoned road, the trail has both level and hilly sections. Toward the end, the trail leaves the woods and opens onto the shoreline at the tip of the Wonderland Peninsula. Assistance may be necessary in several places, but the view is worth the effort. (1.4 miles round trip)

Ship Harbor
Park in the Ship Harbor parking lot west of Seawall Campground on Route 102-A. The first one-quarter mile is a hard-packed surface leading to the mudflats. Access to intertidal pools is over rocky, uneven terrain. Steep grades may require assistance. (1.3 miles round trip)

Man o' War Brook Fire Road
Park in the small unmarked gravel parking area on the east side of Route 102, one-eighth mile north of the larger paved Acadia Mountain parking area. Follow the abandoned road through a mixed growth woodland. The road is about one mile long. Beware of uphill and downhill grades, washouts, and exposed culverts. (2 miles round trip)

Intertidal Zone
The best access to an intertidal zone is on the gravel bar between Bar Island and Bar Harbor at low tide. Automobiles may be driven onto the gravel bar. Access is via a rocky and uneven ramp on Bridge Street in Bar Harbor.

Carroll Homestead Self-Guided Trail
Explore the Carroll Homestead grounds on a hard-packed, but root-covered and uneven path. Assistance may be necessary. A self-guiding trail pamphlet is available. Accessible parking is available at end of the road adjacent to house. (.5 miles round trip)
