Carriage Tours
Day Mountain (One Hour)
Day Mountain carriage road is one of the last to be built in the system. Day Mountain was part of the Rockefeller Estate before it became part of Acadia National Park. This tour traverses through dense forests with ocean overlooks and distant views of Schoodic Peninsula and the Cranberry Isles.
Rockefeller Bridges (Two Hours)
This fully-narrated tour takes you under and over some of the most remarkable bridgework in America. At Cobblestone Bridge, the first of Rockefeller’s bridges built in 1917, passengers may disembark the carriage and explore the craftsmanship and surrounding nature.
Day Mountain Summit (Two Hours)
Day Mountain is the only mountain in the carriage road system with a carriage road to the summit. Once daily, this tour takes you to the top of Day Mountain for spectacular views of Mount Desert Island’s mountains, the seacoast, the Cranberry Isles, Schoodic Peninsula, and Isle au Haut.
