Acadia National Park
Plan Your Visit
 

With a little advance planning, you can make the most of your trip to Acadia. Be sure to check out the contents of this website, which should answer just about any question you have. Once you are here in the park, park rangers can help plan your visit. Stop by the visitor center (April 15 through October) or park headquarters (year round) for assistance. If you plan to visit between June and October, the park newspaper—the Beaver Log—is a great resource for trip planning.

While the park is open all year, the visitor center, most of the Park Loop Road, and many facilities are closed in the winter. For more information, visit Operating Hours and Seasons.

Enjoy your trip!

Did You Know?
Acadia National Park's carriage road system, built by John D. Rockefeller Jr., has been called “the finest example of broken stone roads designed for horse-drawn vehicles still extant in America.” Today, you can hike or bike 45 miles of these scenic carriage roads in the park.
