Acadia National Park is arguably the prettiest place in all of Maine. Not every state can boast of having a national park within its borders and yet we have made the practice of enjoying this wonderful land. There are several stone bridges in Acadia, Maine, that date back to the early 1900s. These bridges are beautiful pieces of history preserved for us to enjoy. How many of these bridges have you seen while traveling to our national park?

There is a trail fairly close to Jordan Pond called the Jordan Stream Path.

This little 2.5-mile walk through the woods follows along a peaceful stream and will cross paths with this beautiful cobblestone bridge built in 1917. Simply called the Cobblestone Bridge this stone structure technically sits outside of the national park borders but is accessible from a trail near Jordan Pond.
A very popular bridge you most likely have seen if you have spent any amount of time in Acadia is the Jordan Pond Dam Bridge. You will walk this bridge if you follow along the Jordan Pond Loop Trail. It was built in 1920 and was inspired by a bridge in Central Park on Swan Lake.
