Park Loop Road

Park Loop Road is a scenic road through part of Acadia National Park in Maine, United States. long, it traverses the eastern side of Mount Desert Island in a one-way, clockwise direction, from Bar Harbor to Seal Harbor. A toll is required for vehicles continuing on the Loop Road beyond the entrance station immediately inland from Schooner Head overlook; the section between Paradise Hill Road, at the foot of Cadillac Mountain, and the entrance station is toll-free.
Completed, under the guidance of John D. Rockefeller Jr., in 1958, after a 37-year process, the road passes geographical features such as Champlain Mountain, the Beehive, Sand Beach, Gorham Mountain, Thunder Hole, Otter Cliff, Otter Cove, Seal Harbor, Jordan Pond, Pemetic Mountain, the Bubbles, Bubble Rock, Bubble Pond, Eagle Lake, and the side road to the summit of Cadillac Mountain.
The Loop Road opens annually on April 15. In winter, only one section of the road remains open to vehicles: Ocean Drive, between the Sand Beach entrance station and Otter Cliff Road. This section of the road is one of the most heavily visited areas of the park.
Two of Acadia's 32 historic bridges span the Park Loop Road: the Sieur de Monts Spring Bridge and the Blackwoods Bridge, both of which carry State Route 3 and were built in 1939.
