Winter Activities (ACAD)

Winter activities at Acadia are hit or miss. The park averages about five feet of snow each year, but rain is just as likely during the winter months. January and February are the most reliable months for winter weather. When there is snow, Acadia becomes a winter wonderland with plenty to do.

Two short sections of Park Loop Road remain open during the winter for motorists. Blackwoods Campground remains open, but campers must walk from the campground entrance road on Route 3 to the campsites. Snowmobiles are allowed on Park Loop Road and most fire roads. However, the maximum speed is 35 mph on Park Loop Road, and 25 mph on all unpaved roads. Snowmobilers must follow all state snowmobile laws. Dog sleds may be pulled by no more than four dogs. Ice fishing is popular on the many lakes and ponds. Snowshoe, cross-country ski, and ice skate rentals are available in Bar Harbor.
