During summer 2004, the staff of Acadia consisted of 100 permanent employees and 130 seasonal employees.
The superintendent of Acadia National Park is the top park official, responsible for managing and supervising all park operations and activities. The superintendent’s office includes the deputy superintendent, program assistant, park planner, and concession specialist.
Divisions within the park include administration, interpretation, maintenance, resource management, and resource and visitor protection. A division chief heads each division.
- The Administration Division acts as the "business office" for Acadia National Park. Its principal functions include human resources, purchasing, property management, budget administration, contracting, housing matters, payroll, technology support (personal computers and telephone system), and mail.
- The Interpretation Division is responsible for information/education programs and services provided to park visitors and neighbors. The division manages park publications, interpretive exhibits, and visitor center operations. Interpretive rangers provide a variety of ranger-led programs to the public. A curriculum-based education program reaches many students in local schools in the spring and fall.
- The Maintenance Division maintains all roads, trails, buildings, utilities, grounds, vehicles, and other physical facilities in the park to assure their safe use. The division also manages construction and rehabilitation projects to support Acadia's operation.
- The Resource Management Division provides scientific guidance to park management on all matters related to natural and cultural resources. The division conducts or oversees studies on physical, biological, and cultural resources. Staff members often work with private landowners to ensure the protection of nearly 190 conservation easements held by the NPS. The division also maintains an extensive museum collection.
- The Resource and Visitor Protection Division is responsible for law enforcement, emergency medical services, dispatch, lifeguards, search and rescue, fire management, fees, and security of park facilities, buildings, and park-owned housing.
