Our Acadia National Park Bike Tour Itinerary

DAY 1 Carriage Roads: where the journey begins

Meet us in Bar Harbor at 1:00pm, where your adventure begins in the gateway to Acadia National Park. Imagine smooth gravel roads winding through stately forests of pine and birch, sunlight dancing on still ponds, and the quiet hum of your bike on paths free of cars. These are John D. Rockefeller’s legendary Carriage Roads, built to share the beauty of Acadia with generations to come. You’ll ride beneath graceful stone bridges and along ridgelines with sweeping views of Mount Desert Island — a ride that captures the essence of freedom and the spirit of summer. As evening falls, we gather for dinner at one of Bar Harbor’s favorite local restaurants, sharing good food and new friendships.

Cycling: 27 miles | elevation gain 1,706 ft
Meals: Dinner
Lodging: First of 2 nights at The Pathmaker Hotel

DAY 2 The Schoodic Peninsula: Maine’s rugged soul

This morning, we cross Frenchman Bay by ferry, a journey that feels like slipping into another world. The Schoodic Peninsula offers a wilder side of Acadia — where waves crash against granite cliffs and lobster boats dot the horizon. Pedal quiet coastal roads through Winter Harbor and along Grindstone Neck, passing elegant summer cottages and timeless fishing wharves. A walk along a tucked away beach in Corea reveals the Maine coastline few visitors ever see. By day’s end, you’ll savor fresh lobster by the ocean, the perfect reward after a day of discovery.

Cycling: 30 miles | elevation gain 1,559 ft
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch & Dinner
Lodging: Second of 2 nights at The Pathmaker Hotel

DAY 3 Park Loop Road: the grand finale

Our final ride traces the famous Park Loop Road, where Acadia’s dramatic coastline unfolds in a symphony of sea and stone. Feel the ocean spray at Thunder Hole, pause at Sand Beach, and, for the ambitious, tackle the highest point on the States’ Atlantic Coast by climbing to the summit of Cadillac Mountain for a view that makes every pedal stroke worth it. It’s the perfect ending — a blend of exhilaration, reflection, and the quiet pride that comes from earning each breathtaking moment.

Cycling Options: 21 or 27 miles | elevation gain 2,624 ft or less
Meals: Breakfast

Note: the tour generally concludes between 1:00 and 3:00 pm.

Views were amazing. Guides were friendly and personable. Lobster roll was delicious. I upgraded to the ebike (first time riding one) and 10/10 recommend it. I wasn’t looking for a workout. Just wanted to see the sights and enjoy myself. Portland was my favorite stop from a New England cruise.

Five Stars to Rick (our guide) and the folks at Summer Feet Cycling. The ride was perfectly tailored to our group of nine middle aged individuals. The sights were terrific and the lobster role for lunch was the best I have ever eaten. Thanks for making our time in Maine a memorable experience.

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
