Acadia National Park
Located on the rockbound coast of Maine, Acadia National Park features soaring granite
cliffs, beaches and miles of scenic bike paths. The ocean makes its presence
felt everywhere in the 35,000-acre park through sight, sound and smell.
The 17 mountain peaks offer excellent ocean views and hiking paths. Cadillac
Mountain, at 1,530 feet, is the highest point on the North Atlantic coast.
Other park land is situated on nearby Isle Au Haut and the Schoodic Peninsula.
Hiking trails range from easy, including the Jordan Pond Nature Trail and
three-mile Ocean Trail, to strenuous, including Beehive Trail and the Cadillac
Mountain South Ridge. Visitors bike, horseback ride and cross-country ski
on the 50 miles of broken-stone carriage roads built by John D. Rockefeller
Jr. Because the park is small and fragile, camping is restricted to two
developed campgrounds.
