Our Story
Born on the Trails of Acadia
A Bar Harbor family business built on the belief that everyone deserves a great day outside.
Why We Started
Acadia Gear Shed started with a simple frustration: too many visitors were missing out on the park because they didn't have the right gear — or couldn't find equipment that worked for their whole family, including members with mobility challenges.
We're a small team based in Bar Harbor, and we've spent years exploring every carriage road, summit, and shoreline Acadia has to offer. We know what gear makes the difference between a good trip and a great one.
Today we rent everything from camping essentials to adaptive hiking carts — so whether you're pitching a tent at Blackwoods, fishing on Eagle Lake, or rolling the carriage roads with a family member who uses a wheelchair, we've got you covered.
Accessibility First
We built our rental fleet around inclusive adventure. Our adaptive gear opens Acadia to visitors of all abilities.
Quality Gear Only
Every item in our fleet is inspected before and after each rental. Clean, well-maintained, and ready to perform.
Locally Rooted
We live here, hike here, and fish here. Our recommendations come from real experience on Acadia's trails.
