Schoodic Scenic Byway | American Tour Association

THE JOURNEY IS THE REASON TO GO

Let the road set the pace.

The Schoodic Scenic Byway travels through the eastern seaboard, including the quiet side of Acadia National Park. The landscape remains unspoiled, revealing a part of Maine where lobstering and clamming are still a tradition. Discover the local artisans crafts and let the mountains, coastal islands, historic buildings, and lighthouses enchant you.

Near the end of Schoodic Point Road, the ocean comes close to the road, and there is a clear view of a flat, forested island. — View From Schoodic Point Road

Before you drive

Choose your stops before departure and check current road access, weather and vehicle suitability. A byway listing does not guarantee that every section or visitor facility is open.

Make it a satisfying day

Choose a realistic section, then allow time for viewpoints, a town stop and breaks. Scenic mileage rarely tells the whole story of how long an outing will take.

Match the road to your vehicle

Check the exact roads for your car, RV or motorcoach. Tunnel dimensions, turning space, grades and road surfaces can matter as much as distance.
