Constructed in 1915, the Beachcroft Path is a historic memorial trail in Acadia National Park that’s famous for its twisting pathways and staircases built of granite blocks. Measuring just over a mile, the trail climbs over a small mountain called Huguenot Head, then climbs the west slope of Champlain Mountain to its summit. The trail was funded by Anna Warren Ingersoll Smith in memory of her husband Charles Morton Smith, and was named after their summer cottage in Bar Harbor. In 1926, she established an endowment fund for its continued maintenance.
