Acadia National Park is one of the top ten most visited parks in the United States. The park spans 47,000 acres, most of which are located on Mount Desert Island, off Maine’s Atlantic coast. With over 150 miles of hiking trails, 45 miles of carriage roads, and 27 miles of historic motor roads, Acadia spans varying terrain and offers something for the casual visitor, or the serious outdoor enthusiast. Ranger led programs include guided hiking or cycling tours and boat cruises, birding programs, hawk and falcon programs, and nighttime starry sky programs. The park is home to Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on the east coast of the United States.
