The Ultimate Acadia National Park Guide

Acadia National Park is located in Maine’s midsection, protecting half of Mount Desert Island as well as 17 other islands on the Maine seacoast. It combines rocky coastlines with granite-strewn mountains, forests full of evergreen pine trees and birches, and island lakes that are perfect for post-hike swimming. In this Acadia National Park guide video, I’ll share some of the best trails to hike and activities to add to your itinerary, from taking a scenic drive through the park to dining on fresh seafood in Bar Harbor.

Come wade into tide pools, hike ladder-lined trails, and try your hand at lobster fishing in Acadia National Park! Watch my video to learn everything you need to know about this park and its many attractions for nature lovers, outdoor adventurers, and those seeking a little respite from the busy world around us. 

Mountains, wild coastal cliffs and beaches, and unspoiled trails that network through it all make Acadia National Park one of the coolest parks to visit.
