The 3.5-mile Jordan Pond Path is a popular trail circling the shoreline, offering peaceful views of the pond, wild blueberries in summer, and vibrant foliage in fall. Swimming is not allowed to protect the pristine water quality, but visitors can kayak or canoe nearby and enjoy the natural surroundings.
Next to the pond sits the historic Jordan Pond House, famous for its popovers and tea served on the lawn overlooking the water. The combination of classic hospitality and natural beauty makes this a must-visit destination within Acadia.
Whether you’re hiking the trails, enjoying a quiet picnic, or simply taking in the view of the North and South Bubbles mirrored in the pond, Jordan Pond is a peaceful retreat that captures the spirit of coastal Maine.
