ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

Acadia National Park

Visitors enjoying the view on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine. Acadia is a land of contrast and diversity. Comprised of a cluster of islands on the Maine coast, the park is positioned within the broad transition zone between eastern deciduous and northern coniferous forests, and hosts several species and plant communities at the edge of their geographic range. Steep slopes rise above the rocky shore, including Cadillac Mountain, which at 1,530 feet is the highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast.
