Year after year, Acadia is among America’s most visited national parks, and it’s easy to see why.
“It is just stunningly beautiful,” said Perrin Doniger, vice president of communications and marketing for Friends of Acadia, an independent nonprofit that's been supporting the park for 40 years.
“The granite mountains rise right out of the ocean so you have sweeping, beautiful views,” she added. “The way the Maine coast twists and turns can give you both sunrise views and sunset views which are very unique on the East Coast.”
That’s not all that’s unique to Acadia.
Much of Acadia is on Maine’s Mount Desert Island and reachable by road. However, the purposefully less developed Schoodic Peninsula is on the mainland.
