Acadia National Park has 16 historic stone bridges along its convenient, old, and famous carriage road system. Several of the bridges cross small streams. Though it is pretty dry here, they were still interesting to see and photograph.

We hiked the two mile round trip trek to the Hemlock Bridge and the Waterfall Bridge near Northeast Harbor. The trails here are very rocky and have exposed roots so if you can use a carriage road, I would recommend that.

The water was low and almost not running, but it was still pretty. The nearby Hadlock Brook Bridge is very photogenic, but there was a recent tree limb break that crossed the stream and created a bit of a distraction.

Later, Mark and I hiked a 2 mile round trip to see the most famous bridge of all, the Cobblestone Bridge, which is south of Jordon Pond.

Not sure if I have said this yet, but the park is CROWDED. There were hordes of people at Jordon Pond, and today we saw hundreds of cars on the Park Loop Road.

On the other hand, Mark and I found almost no one on our trail after a half mile or so. If you want to avoid the crowds, just keep walking.

Next up was Duck Brook Bridge, which is quite tall and has a photogenic stream north of the bridge.

Finally, on our last morning, we photographed Jordon Pond and after a rainy evening, there was some water beneath it.

So in a few days, we photographed 7 of the 16 bridges. I did look up all of them and with time and good hiking legs, you could see all of them.
