This is a small parking area with space for about 10 vehicles. It provides excellent access for hiking or walking both the Day Mountain trail and the Day Mountain carriage roads in Acadia National Park. It does not provide access for cycling, as reaching the carriage road involves crossing about a quarter mile hiking trail on private property that includes bog bridges over wetlands and a short scramble over a rock outcrop.nThe parking area is on the south side of route 3, on the left side of the road when traveling from Otter Creek to Seal Harbor, opposite a monument to Samuel Champlain, a French sea captain who was the first European to visit Mount Desert Island.nFrom the parking area the hiker or walker must cross route 3 to access the trail to Day Mountain. At this point the road is on top of a hill and around a blind curve with limited visibility. Please exercise caution when crossing the road.nThere is also a hiking trail, the Lower Day Mountain trail, on private property, going south about a half mile to Cooksey Drive and cliffs overlooking the ocean.
Day Mountain hike was amazing, but shhhhhh, don't tell anyone!
Beautiful hike
Great hike with kids! Incredible views
Easy access if you know what I mean.
