Our boy, Taz hiking up the Bubbles Trail in Acadia National Park. Acadia and surrounding areas is very dog friendly. He had a wonderful time and was able to go everywhere with us.
This has been my FAVORITE national park to explore with my dog, Hank. Almost every trail is dog friendly. Our favorite was Jordan Pond Loop just after sunrise on Cadillac Mtn. We will definitely be back!

Dog at Acadia National Park
Spend a glorious day with your pup surrounded by the beauty of Acadia National Park when you take the pet-friendly Island Explorer shuttle into the park and wander the trails, hike the granite peaks, and savor the natural beauty of the flora and fauna. Visit the Jordan Pond House for its famous popovers, lobster stew, or a refreshing glass of hand-squeezed lemonade on the lawn. See Acadia’s wonders from the water with a scenic nature cruise aboard the Sea Princess. Narrated by an Acadia Park Ranger, the pet-friendly cruise will take you to the Great Harbor of Mount Desert and Somes Sound Fjord.
Great hike for dogs and humans alike - this was a whole family trail - some bigger boulders to navigate to get to the trailhead which was not a problem for our girl, but smaller breeds will need a lift.

The summer after adopting my friend Dust, a mixed breed dog then aged 5.5 years, he and I took a vacation to Acadia National Park. We had a wonderful time hiking the trails! It's been ten years now that he's shared my life, I hope to go back this summer to celebrate.
