On a sunny Fall day one could not ask for a more beautiful hike. The Fall colors were out and the sky was clear. Consequently we had a very nice walk around Jordan Pond. This is a relatively easy 3+ mile walk. There is an extensive board walk, a little bit of granite through which to migrate, and the a wide path. It seems interesting to us that what one calls a "pond" in the NE would be called a lake in the West.

We came across this pond almost by accident while we were driving around the loop, and had to stop to admire the breathtaking beauty of this place. We were lucky enough to be here on a sunny day, so the clear blue lake mirrored the sky beautifully. There are a bunch of trails that connect to/around the pond, to varying degrees of difficulty. We went on one of the hikes around the lake; while we turned around halfway through, we thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility of the trail.

Beautiful! Such a gorgeous place and not challenging to walk. I would suggest wearing some bug spray as it can be a little buggy in some spots near the water. There is parking near the trail if you are driving the Acadia Park Loop.

Jordan Pond is a very pretty pond with a 3.2 mile loop. We had done the Beehive & Cadillac so this was very relaxed in comparison. Most people could do this easily, but be aware there are some parts that require walking over rocky parts and dealing with uneven footing. We saw frogs, tadpoles, fish, ducks, birds and a tree eaten by a beaver. The trail was a little crowded with babies and dogs and larger groups, but we went in the middle of the day. You might want to aim for early or late. Beautiful! Enjoy!

This is a beautiful, pristine lake to hike around. It took us 2 hours at a leisurely pace. There are some sections of boardwalk type trail, flatter trail, and some rock scrambling. (A short section) Bathrooms at the start and the pond house if you want to get a bite to eat. Come early to get a parking spot and avoid the crowds!!

The pond is very scenic, with The Bubbles hills rising over the end. We started the pond trail on the left side, and soon came up the boards. I thought they would be for a short stretch but they go on and on and on, with constant decisions about which direction will reach the next bypass area first. We managed but it's not for everyone. After 35 minutes we turned around and came back.
