Winter Storms January 2024

Scientists’ predictions of more frequent extreme weather events as a result of climate change were a reality for Acadia National Park this winter and spring. Sections of the park endured storm damage throughout multiple extreme storms. As the NPS continues to assess storm damage throughout the park, visitors should exercise caution while exploring.

• About 200 feet of the right lane of the Schoodic Loop Road was undermined. The road remains passable and open to visitors.

• Some hiking trails have had significant impacts, including sections of Ocean Path.

• The railing and staircase leading to Sand Beach has been damaged by debris and storm surge. The sand dunes and cliff faces have eroded significantly.

• Little Hunters Beach is closed. The lower potion of the wooden steps is washed out and there is significant erosion to the cliff face.

• Otter Cove Causeway has damage to the riprap retaining wall with some undermining of the road. The park’s seasonal waterline is exposed and twisted for several hundred feet and could be damaged. The portion of Otter Cove Trail that traverses the causeway is destroyed.

• Seawall Picnic Area experienced significant damage from debris and downed trees. Seawall Campground experienced significant damage from downed and hazard trees.

• Several locations in the park, including but not limited to Thompson Island Picnic Area, Park Loop Road, and Schoodic Loop Road, require debris clean up.

• The foundation of the Blue Duck Ships Store next to the Islesford Historical Museum has been undermined.

• Rockefeller Hall roof leak has caused portions of the interior to experience water damage to the ceiling and walls.

Acadia National Park staff continue to assess storm damage.
