The Carriage Paths, Bridges and Gatehouses is a historic district in Hancock County, Maine, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Designed in the Tudor Revival style by Grosvenor Atterbury, it is a network of carriage roads on the eastern half of Mount Desert Island, built between 1919 and 1931 under John D. Rockefeller Jr., who opposed automobiles there. It includes sixteen granite bridges and two gatehouses, and most of it lies within Acadia National Park.
