Having spent a short stay in 1982 and a quick ride on the auto roads, I wanted to go back and see more. We spent a long weekend recently exploring the highlights of the park and enjoyed as many of the trails and attractions as possible. We will go back whenever we can. There is so much to enjoy.
Sincerely,
Acadia National Park
Along the rugged coastline of Maine, this gem of the Northeast offers ocean shoreline, coastal forests, remote islands, rocky mountains and historic lighthouses. With 45 miles of historic carriage roads to bike and 125 miles of trails to hike, Acadia is a premier destination for the adventurous and outdoorsy. Among the park’s granite peaks is Cadillac Mountain, which at 1,530 feet stands as the tallest mountain on the Atlantic coast.
State(s): Maine
Established: 1919
“Now that I am retired, I'd like to visit as many of the national treasures as I can. I'm impressed with the way they are maintained and hope to see that care continue.”
