Acadia National Park

Famous for being gorgeous and the only National Park in Maine, Acadia NP is an amazing hiking and biking destination. You don’t have to be a wildly active person to enjoy it though, as Acadia is well explored from a vehicle or tour bus as well. Mount Desert Island, Isle au Haut and the Schoodic Peninsula are all a part of the park, and each is quite different.

From biking routes to tips for getting to visit the famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse, we have all kinds of helpful information to plan a great experience at Acadia National Park.
