Acadia National Park Webcams — Live
8 live cameras within 15 km of Mount Desert Island — Jordan Pond Webcam and the park's own weather. Free, no signup.
Acadia’s wall is Mount Desert Island in miniature. Its anchor is a genuine park-service camera — the Jordan Pond Webcam, aimed across the pond at the Bubbles, the twin glacial hills that are the park’s postcard. Around it, FAA weather cameras at Bar Harbor’s helipad and the Hancock County airport complete the island’s coverage.
The mix is stated as it is: one scenic park camera, and the working weather cameras of the island the park shares with Bar Harbor. Together they answer the island’s two daily questions — is Jordan Pond clear this morning, and what is the harbour weather doing — without pretending the airport cams are park views.
Best time to watch Acadia
Jordan Pond is a morning camera: the Bubbles reflect in still water early, and the pond’s famous clarity shows best before the day’s breeze. In October the wall doubles as a foliage check on the island’s maples; in summer, the Bar Harbor cameras read the fog bank before you drive the Park Loop Road.
Sun times are computed for the park's coordinates (44.34, -68.27) in its local timezone — astronomy, not a forecast. Pair them with the live weather above before you plan around them.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to use the Acadia wall
- 1Start with the named cameras: the highlights at the top of this page are the wall's anchor viewpoints — open them first for the park itself.
- 2Read the weather like a ranger: the live conditions panel and the cameras together beat any forecast — if the gateway is clear and the viewpoint is in cloud, believe the cameras.
- 3Use the sun times: sunrise and sunset at the park are computed on this page for today. The famous views are edge-of-day views; plan the open around them.
- 4Check the approach, not just the destination: entrance and corridor cameras in the wall show the road you will drive, an hour before you drive it.
