We took the Express Bike shuttle from Bar Harbor to Eagle Lake to start our day's bike trip along the Carriage Roads of Acadia National Park. John Rockefeller Jr wanted motor-free roads for horse and carriage rides on Mount Desert Island. Construction lasted from1913 to 1940, including the building of 16 bridges. The result is 45 miles of carriage roads used today by carriages, horseback riders and hikers.
Our destination for lunch was Jordan Pond House, known for its popovers, a more than 100-year old tradition.
Along the way we passed Eagle Lake, Bubble pond and Jordan Pond, a 10 to 12 mile ride round trip.
And yes, the popovers were delicious!
That is where our tradition of preparing popovers for our family began. We went there after we took a hike around Jordan Pond in the 80s.
