Maine's Best Spots - NORTH RIDGE TRAIL – by Wood Island Studio
North Ridge Trail – Acadia National Park
Climbing steadily to the summit of Cadillac Mountain, the North Ridge Trail is one of the most scenic and rewarding hikes in Acadia National Park. Stretching about 4.4 miles round-trip, this exposed granite ridge offers hikers sweeping views of Frenchman Bay, Bar Harbor, and the rugged coastline of Mount Desert Island with every step upward.
Less steep than the South Ridge but no less stunning, the trail follows open granite ledges dotted with pitch pine, wild blueberries, and windswept mosses, providing a true mountaintop feel from start to finish. The ocean is almost always in view, and the sea breeze accompanies you all the way to the top.
At the summit—1,530 feet above sea level—hikers are rewarded with panoramic views and the exhilarating knowledge that they arrived not by car, but by their own two feet. For many, this trail is more than a hike—it’s a sunrise pilgrimage, a personal victory, and a memory that lasts long after the descent.
Accessible, iconic, and full of Maine’s signature rugged beauty, North Ridge Trail is a must for anyone wanting the full Cadillac experience—from the ground up.
