Wonderland Trail Details

Wonderland follows a wide gravel path through evergreen forests and over Acadia's famous granite ledges before reaching a cobble beach. While it isn't a sand beach, the flat, smooth stones make it great for tide-pool exploration and relaxation while listening to the pounding surf and absorbing views of nearby Duck and Great Cranberry Islands. The trail is considered wheelchair accessible, but tough roots and loose stones could cause difficulty for some. Trailhead: off of Route 102A, .9 miles from Seawall Campground.
