Acadia National Park
is located on Mount Desert Island along the beautiful coast of Maine. Rocky
shores, breathtaking vistas and numerous natural wonders greet the visitor.
The natural environment just begs to be explored - from the carriage paths
accessible by foot, bicycle, and wheelchair, both sandy and rocky beaches
teeming with marine life, hikes that lead to spectacular views, and of course
the ocean, which can be explored and studied by boat, camera, paintbrush,
and plain old wading in!
Much of Acadia National Park neighbors Bar Harbor, a coastal town complete
with a working port, a strong tourist trade, and a fascinating history, both
of the seafaring natives and the summer visitors who built magnificent "cottages"
for their summers in Maine.
