Acorns rolled and crunched beneath my boots as I followed Breakneck Road deeper into the wilderness of Acadia National Park. It measures about 2.5 miles long, spanning from Route 3, near Acadia’s Hulls Cove Visitor Center, to Eagle Lake Road, near park headquarters. Threading through the woods, it passes a small waterfall, crosses Breakneck Brook and passes between two bodies of water that are together known as Breakneck Ponds.
