Carriage Rides – Take a trip into the past by enjoying a carriage ride over the 57 miles of carriage roads in the Park. To enjoy the Park as it was enjoyed in years gone by, consider a horse drawn carriage tour. A concessioner provides a variety of horse drawn carriage tours throughout the many scenic carriage roads each day seasonally from mid-June to October. Check out the carriage ride vendor located near Seal Harbor, ME.
Horse Camp - If you want to bring your own friendly steed with you, there is a horse camp provided by one of the concessioners. There are no horses for rent within the park, but stall rental space is available if you wish to bring your own. This service is provided by the same vendor who supplies the carriage rides.
Restaurants - The only dining facility in Acadia National Park is the Jordan Pond House Restaurant. Here you can enjoy lunch, tea, and dinner from mid-May through late October.
