Maine's Best Spots - GREAT HEAD TRAIL – by Wood Island Studio
Great Head Trail – Acadia National Park
Perched high above the crashing surf of the Atlantic, Great Head Trail offers one of Acadia National Park’s most scenic coastal hikes. This 1.6-mile loop begins just steps from Sand Beach and climbs to the rocky promontory of Great Head, where panoramic views stretch across Frenchman Bay, Newport Cove, and the islands dotting the horizon.
Though relatively short, the trail packs in variety: narrow forest paths, steep stone steps, granite ledges, and breezy cliffside overlooks. It’s a perfect blend of challenge and accessibility—offering a moderate climb that rewards hikers with stunning vistas from start to finish. Along the way, you’ll spot hardy spruce trees clinging to the rocks, seabirds soaring above the waves, and the brilliant blues of the Atlantic stretching endlessly east.
For those looking to experience Acadia’s dramatic coastline without a long or technical hike, Great Head is a must. It’s especially breathtaking in the early morning or late afternoon light, when the rocks glow warm and the sea sparkles below.
Wild, windswept, and unforgettable—Great Head Trail is one of the park’s most iconic coastal experiences.
