Bubbles Divide Trail
Website Directions 207-288-3338

The Bubbles Divide Trail is a popular hiking route in Acadia National Park that sits nestled between North Bubble and South Bubble. It serves as a central connector, allowing hikers to access the summits of both peaks, the iconic Bubble Rock, and paths leading toward Jordan Pond. Featuring rocky, forested terrain with moderate inclines, the trail offers access to some of Mount Desert Island's most famous landscapes.

Quick tip: Arrive early in the morning or use the Island Explorer shuttle, as the Bubble Rock trailhead parking lot fills up quickly during peak season.
