Acadia National Park

Acadia is the premier East Coast national park, where mountains meet the sea. Visitors can summit Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast, for the first sunrise in America. The park features a unique network of historic stone bridges and car-free carriage roads ideal for biking.

Rugged granite cliffs like those at Thunder Hole contrast with serene ponds and spruce-fir forests. Its proximity to Bar Harbor offers convenience without sacrificing wilderness. Acadia's compact size, diverse activities (hiking, biking, kayaking), and classic New England coastal scenery provide outstanding value and accessibility for millions.
