Local Natural Wonders Day 22 - Bubble Rock in Acadia National Park, Maine

Located inside Acadia National Park there is a "glacial erratic" - now called Bubble Rock - left by ice age activity a long time ago. Geologists state that glaciers carried Bubble Rock to its perch from the town of Lucerne, Maine - 40 miles away!

You will need to hike to the top of South Bubble (768ft elevation) inside Acadia National Park to reach Bubble Rock. Parking is located on the Loop Road. Follow the South Bubble Trail (.7 miles) to the summit, and continue on for a couple more minutes on a side trail that leads to Bubble Rock. You will also have a fantastic view of Jordan Pond.
