Jordan Pond Path Trailhead
Formed by the Wisconsin Ice Sheet thousands of years ago, Jordan Pond Path Trailhead in Acadia National Park covers 76 hectares (187 acres) of the park, with 5.8 km (3.6 mi) of shoreline. Enjoy a walk around the lake on a well-maintained hiking trail or on a carriage road. The clear waters reach 46 m (150 ft) deep, and visibility has been recorded up to depths of 14 to 18 m (46 to 60 ft)--the deepest in the state. Swimming is not allowed in the lake, but you can kayak or canoe on its waters. Have a meal at the restaurant overlooking the lake to view it from another perspective. You can reach the area by car; hikes start from the parking lot. Discover how to plan a Acadia National Park trip in just a few steps with Inspirock's itinerary builder.

Gorgeous pond! Me and my family came here in August, 2020 and it was great. You can jump on the rocks, swim, and gaze at the gorgeous scenery. It is truly iconic and well known at Acadia. It is worth.... more

FAVE Star gazing spot in Acadia!!! We love it. Park at the parking lot and walk down to the pond. Dont forget a flash light- the slope down can be tricky at night with no light. Get down to the lakes.... more

The trail is very scenic and beautiful. It's kid friendly. Pretty views and a nice hike around the pond. East side of trail is flat and easy. West side requires some scrambling and then a walk on a boardwalk. Crystal clear, water with mountains in the background. Good photography spot

I hiked the Jordan pond trail clockwise. It is about 3.3 miles of loop. It is pretty much flat except there is a section which is rocky. The view is breathtaking. The sound of water is music to my ears. I went up there at 8am and had no trouble finding a parking spot. However, when i left around 11am parking area was congested. So, go early and enjoy the view.
