“The initiative to restore and permanently maintain the carriage roads was among the very first projects at Acadia that showed the power of matching federal appropriated funding from Congress with private philanthropic dollars raised locally. “The carriage roads are a beloved resource for Acadia’s visitors ,” said Friends of Acadia President David MacDonald.

“The carriage roads are in outstanding condition for visitors to enjoy thanks to Friends of Acadia and generous private philanthropy.” “Acadia contains the best and most extensive example of a historic carriage road system in the United States,” said Superintendent Kevin Schneider. Between 19, an extensive rehabilitation of the carriage roads was financed by federal construction funds along with matching private funds from Friends of Acadia. Maintaining the extensive carriage road system for equestrians, bicyclists, runners, and walkers involves collaborative resourcefulness to ensure a state-of-the-art recreational experience.
