Acadia Ankle Epidemic on the Trails | Bangor News

Hikers in Acadia National Park are getting seriously injured—especially their ankles—so often that rescue teams have dubbed it “Acadia Ankle.” Between 2017 and 2023, 93 rescue missions were launched, half for ankle injuries, with most victims in their 50s and nearly 80% women. Popular trails like Beehive, Bowl, and even Cadillac Mountain’s summit are hotspots. It’s a sobering reminder: stunning scenery can hide real risks—stay alert, know your limits, or risk joining the “Acadia Ankle” club.
