 Exploration
of Mount Desert Island - Bar Harbor Maine: Virtual Tour
Guide and Information "JORDAN POND"
This is Jordan Pond.
The water is so clear allowing you to
see the beautiful granite and smooth rock floor, but it is a
reservoir so there is no swimming or wading allowed.
The water depth reaches 150 feet. Notice the vessels on top
of a visitor's vehicle.... There are many gorgeous places to
Kayak in Acadia National Park and this is one of them.
There is also a trail here which takes you on a
beautiful 1/2 mile walk around the pond.
Here you
will also find the Jordan Pond House Restaurant which is
open May through October. It is a wonderful restaurant
that back in the 1800's was famous for serving popovers on
the lawn. The original building was destroyed and
replaced with the new Jordan Pond House and is the only
restaurant in the park. It is popular and reservations
are a good idea: 207-276-3316. The views around
it are picturesque where carriage
roads goes by the restaurant and the pond.
There is a bike rack just outside and the restaurant is very
popular after a day of touring by bicycle.
You can also experience these carriage roads on horse and
buggy by stopping at the WIldwood Stables nearby
where you can tour on horse and buggy (for a fee) and
gallop on the carriage roads built by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr. Also, you should note that the Island explorer, a free
shuttle bus from Bar Harbor has a pick up and drop off point
at the Jordan Pond House.
