Black and Blue Path, Acadia National Park, Hancock County, ME

In the 1896 BHVIA 7th An. Rpt, George Dorr in his report of the Special Committee on Bicycle Paths, states, "The length of the combined system of wood roads and of the bicycle path, from which, moreover, two foot-paths lead up Newport Mountian and one upon Picket, cannot be far from a mile and a half in all, though probably somewhat less than this; and its nearness to the village, its connection with two town roads and with the mountain paths, make some supervision...necessary."Shown on the 1896 path map.
