Jordan Pond is a beautiful body of water that sits inside Acadia National Park. Formed by a glacier, Jordan Pond has exceptionally clear and clean water. On some days, it's possible to see down more than 40 feet into the water. Swimming isn't allowed in Jordan Pond, but visitors are allowed to take kayaks, canoes, and other small watercraft onto the pond.

The water is surrounded by rolling hills and wide open fields. For entertainment, visitors can hike around the pond, ride on biking trails, check out bars, clubs and taverns, and visit the Jordan Pond House, which is the only full-service restaurant inside Acadia National Park.
