Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park, often called the “Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast,” is a breathtaking 47,000-acre wilderness sanctuary located primarily on Maine’s Mount Desert Island. It protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline and offers a unique “gateway” to both mountain and sea.

When planning your visit to this world-renowned destination, you can experience:

  • Iconic Summits & Trails: Hike to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the United States’ East Coast, to be among the first to see the sunrise. For those seeking a challenge, the Precipice and Beehive trails offer thrilling iron-rung climbs with rewarding panoramic views.

  • Historic Carriage Roads: Explore 45 miles of rustic, broken-stone carriage roads gifted by John D. Rockefeller Jr. These motor-free paths are perfect for biking, walking, or a scenic horse-drawn carriage ride through the park’s interior.

  • Rugged Coastal Landmarks: Witness the Atlantic’s power at Thunder Hole, relax on the unique shell-sand of Sand Beach, or take a peaceful stroll around the pristine waters of Jordan Pond.

  • Park Loop Road: This 27-mile scenic drive provides easy access to the park’s most famous viewpoints, winding through lush forests, past sparkling lakes, and along the dramatic granite cliffs that define the Maine coast.

Whether you are visiting for the vibrant autumn foliage or a refreshing summer escape, Acadia National Park provides an unforgettable landscape for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers alike.
