Famed for its rugged and spectacular beauty, Acadia National Park encompasses sections of Maine’s Mt. Desert Island, Schoodic Peninsula, and Isle Au Haut. Within its boundaries there are miles of carriage roads, hiking trails, and scenic highways. Our article on things to do in Acadia National Park will highlight the park’s most treasured natural attractions and activities.
Most people visit Acadia National Park in the summer. They do not realize that the park is a four-season destination. Many travelers like to visit the Acadia in spring and fall when Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole, and the Beehive Trail are less crowded than in July and August. And, when the snow flies, the park is full of cross-country skiers and winter hikers.
In any season, discovering Acadia’s mountains, forests, and rocky shores is one of the best things to do in Maine. For information on area hotels and restaurants read our Bar Harbor Guide. Refer to our Acadia: 7 Night Itinerary & Guide for suggestions on how to plan a week-long trip.
