DescriptionFriends of Acadia (FOA) makes grants from its Acadia Trails Forever project fund to the ANP trails program to maintain the park's 130 miles of trails. Projects in 2012 included connecting, completing, and reopening the Kebo Brook Trail and abandoned sections of Gorge Path; rehabilitating many sections of the trail up the South Ridge of Cadillac Mtn.; extensive erosion control projects; stonework and wood work rehabilitation; and working on sections of trail which will connect with future bus stops. In addition, the park began compliance and planning efforts for the next connector trail.Description

DescriptionThe Carriage Road maintenance grant makes possible the salaries of six Acadia National Park workers who perform regular maintenance of the park's 44 miles of historic carriage roads. In 2012, the workers rock-raked, dragged smooth, and rolled the entire carriage road system at the beginning and end of the season. They replaced and added culverts on the Eagle Lake Loop. ANP also did GPS mapping of all the back drains designed to control the flow of water approaching the roads, most of which had never been cleaned since the park first took over the roads. In addition, they worked to keep beaver dams knocked down to prevent blocked culverts. This program uses thousands of volunteer hours from FOA's volunteer program, and also uses the Acadia Youth Conservation Corps student employees.Description
