Acadia building new path to protect pedestrians at Cadillac Mountain summit

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 18, 2026

Acadia officials are starting construction on a new trail that will prevent pedestrians from needing to walk on a busy roadway at the park’s highest peak. The trail will give visitors a dedicated walkway between the east and west parking lots along Cadillac Summit Road, one of the Acadia National Park’s busiest roads. The project is part of a broader push to invest more in pedestrian accessibility at Acadia.
