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!
