Jordan Pond Gatehouse in winter
The weather in Acadia National Park is moderate compared to the rest of northern New England. The average annual precipitation of 53 inches is evenly distributed though out the year. Temperatures can range from below zero (F) in winter to above 90(F) in summer. Frequent thawing periods prevent large, long-term snow accumulations. Ice storms are common in winter and early spring, and rain occurs in every month. Fog is also a frequent phenomenon at the park that tends to peak in June, tapering off in winter. Northeastern storms, occurring mainly in late fall and winter, are generally severe windstorms. Hurricanes occasionally pass through the region.

Did You Know?
Acadia National Park's carriage road system, built by John D. Rockefeller Jr., has been called “the finest example of broken stone roads designed for horse-drawn vehicles still extant in America.” Today, you can hike or bike 45 miles of these scenic carriage roads in the park.
