Bridges, Acadia National Park, ME
This stately granite bridge, which stands near the tallest waterfall in Acadia National Park on Maine’s Mount Desert Island, is one of 29 granite bridges commissioned by the son of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller along 57 miles of carriage roads on the island. The carriage roads and bridges were built between 1913 and 1940. The bridge shown in the photograph is on the Upper Hadlock Pond carriage road on the western side of the island.
Nearby is another carriage road bridge, called the Hemlock Bridge.
