Wildwood Stables in Acadia National Park
Wildwood
Stables, located next to the picturesque Park Loop Road in Acadia
National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine, provides a variety of daily horse-drawn
carriage tours from mid-June through early October of each year. Tours follow the famous and scenic carriage
roads that were originally constructed by John D. Rockefeller between 1913 and 1940. A horse camp is
provided for visitors who prefer to bring their own horses with them for riding. Horseback riding is not
provided by Wildwood Stables but stall rentals are available.
You
may access Wildwood Stables via the Park Loop Road about one-half mile south of the Jordan
Pond House Restaurant, southwest of Cadillac Mountain. Refer to the Acadia
map for location. The stables are operated by a private business concessionaire on park land. Reservations
are strongly advised and are usually accepted up to one week in advance.
