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.
