Nesting peregrine falcons are once again claiming their territory, resulting in several trail closures in Acadia National Park. The Jordan Cliffs Trail, Precipice Trail, and a portion of the Orange & Black Path are closed until further notice. Rangers closed the cliffs and associated trails to public entry to protect the peregrine falcons from being disturbed and abandoning their nests. Entering a trail that’s marked as closed is a federal crime.
