Description
Acadia National Park has over 50 miles of carriage roads all funded by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. They were build between 1913 and 1940 for the use of horses, hikers and bikers. John D. Rockefeller wanted to establish a sanctuary for nature lovers away from the hustle and bustle of cars. Cars do this day, are not permitted on the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park. Bridges were built inside the Park mined from a granite quarry on Mound Desert Island. The granite stones that are on the right side of the Carriage Road, are referred to as Rockefeller's Teeth. These "Teeth" can be seen all over the park. And if you look really closely, you can see a beaver's attempt to chew away the tree also on the right. When biking, hiking or even horseback riding along the Carriage Roads, it is important to take your time and enjoy the sights and sounds of Mother Nature.
