Cadillac Mountain is known for its spectacular views, especially at sunrise. This route begins in a parking lot near the Blackwoods Campground and is one of the longest stretches of trail on Mount Desert Island. There is also an access trail from the campground itself. The true summit is to the left where the South Ridge Trail opens onto the gravel access road. Look for two survey benchmarks established by the US Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1856 and 1954.

The Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail, or Cadillac South Ridge Trail, is a gradual climb that does not meet Cadillac Summit Road until the very end. The trail briefly descends to a small pond called The Featherbed, where there is a wooden bench for taking a break and enjoying the pond. On the return, descend back down the Cadillac South Ridge Trail.

If you’d prefer not to hike Cadillac Mountain, you can drive up Cadillac Summit Road and there is a parking area and gift shop at the top.

Although dogs are allowed on this trail, visitors have reported that there are some very rocky, steep sections that may be difficult for your dog.

From the Bubbles Divide Trail, users can take spur trails up to North Bubble, South Bubble, and Bubble Rock.

The summit of the Bubbles provides excellent views of the surrounding mountains and Jordan Pond.

The Bubbles are a unique and famous Acadia landmark that is a must do hike. Sections of the trail are rocky so good shoes are recommended.

Acadia National Park lists this as a trail not recommended for dogs, even though they are technically allowed on leash.

Head out on this 3.3-mile loop trail near Mount Desert, Maine. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 0 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

There are great views on a lot of the walk around the lake. This trail can get crowded at points, especially on the parts where there were narrower wooden walkways for paths. Go early, as it can be difficult to find a parking spot due to the traffic. The backdrop of the pond and bubbles are beautiful as you meander through the woods along the pond. The boardwalks are unique, and outside of a couple of muddy spots, this trail is very enjoyable.

There’s a section with some rocky terrain but other than that it’s a peaceful walk. There are a couple of sandy areas where people can step aside and relax on the shore.

Dogs, swimming, and wading are not allowed in the pond.
