This place is very scenic. The pond (really a lake) is majestic and beautiful. There are places to walk, and the restaurant serves excellent baked goods. A great stop in Acadia for a snack, or just to look at the water.

We walked the carriage road trail beside and above the pond to the first carriage road trail. Then we took the path down to the Jordan pond path on the east side.

The path around the east side of the pond is dirt and rock with few boardwalks. The pond is so clear. Another day we walked the west side of the pond on the boardwalks. These are being replaced but no gaps. There are pullovers to pass every so often.…

Really wanted to love this hike and we did, for the first half —-with views of the Bubbles, the pond and dappled light on wooded paths. The second half was mostly walking on boardwalks a few feet inland with a few stretches of rock climbing. Little to see and a bit frightening for those who find rock-hopping less than ideal. If we had to do it over again, and we would, we would do the first half and turn around to head back. If you are looking at the pond with the tea house behind you, walk to the right and start there. The second half is not at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues or families with very young children.…

What a welcoming site after months of travel bans. The hills, the evergreens and this big beautiful pond right in front of me was Heaven. All visitors were respectful of each other and wore masks and kept their distance. We were all like kids on a school field trip, just filled with curioucity. The water was clear and with the right shoes on you could climb on the rocky shoreline. So pack up the family and grab your camera and head up for a day or even two or three days for an adventure in nature.…
