A, A, A, Acadia!

  • Place: Acadia National Park
  • Trailhead: Eagle Lake (southeast end)
  • Riders with OMMB: T and J
  • Miles: 7
  • Weather: perfect
  • Trail Conditions: Carriage Roads...smooth gravel
  • GPS Track: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/248127088/3798052
Notes: As part of our camping trip all the way up the coast of Maine to Canada, we stayed on Mount Desert Island and tried out a peice of the carriage roads in Acadia. Very nice, easy, recreational ride around Eagle Lake.  Didn't really need mountain bikes because the dirt roads are in immaculate shape...and no autos allowed. A bit too fast paced for Jesse, as he is accustomed to zig zagging on single track. Teri on the other hand LOVED flying down the long winding hills on this loop.  The other drawback for Jesse... no swimming in the lake (apparently a public water supply...yet they allow gas motors... go figure).

 
Happy Trails,
OMMB
