Acadia Multi-Sport Tour

Discover Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park is the only national park created by private land donations. At 49,075 acres, it is one of the country’s smallest national parks. It is spread among several islands: Mt. Desert, Isle au Haut, the Cranberry Islands, and the Schoodic Penisula.

Acadia offers excellent cycling, hiking, and kayaking. Having been fortunate to guide in Acadia for over twenty years, we have in-depth knowledge of the Park. Savor the sound of surf crashing against the rocky shores of Maine and indulge in the delights of wild Maine blueberries and freshly caught lobster.

Our Summer Feet cycle along the Maine coast was glorious. In early September, we had perfect weather. We cycled along breathtaking views. Then we caught our breath in quaint Maine towns and fishing villages. Each evening our luggage was waiting for us at a charming inn, where we were served breakfast before heading out the next morning. The Summer Feet staff were friendly and efficient. We will hope to plan another Summer Feet trip soon! Pedal The Coast
