MTF

Trailhead

Starting in Southwest Harbor, continue on ME Route 102 through town. Just past the town turn left on102A. In 3.1 miles the Wonderland Parking lot is on the left.

Description

The trail is an old road which leads to the ocean. It's very flat with minimal roots and rocks. Upon reaching the water, the trail loops through a stand of spruce and fir, occasionally providing access to the rocky shoreline.

Other Information

This is a popular birding spot and there is good tidepooling at low tide. When exploring the tidepools keep these safety tips in mind. 

  • Never turn your back to the water.
  • Explore as the tide is going out.
  • Be gentle with tidepool creatures.

Geocaching is prohibited within Acadia National Park; however, the park does sponser an EarthCache Program for those seeking a virtual treasure hunt!
