The Visitor Use program at Acadia seeks to minimize visitor impacts to park resources and to assure high quality visitor experiences. We:

• coordinate social science and visitor impact research to help inform management decisions.
• monitor visitor use activities (hiking, carriage road use, and rock climbing) and sensitive sites.
• promote Leave No Trace (LNT) ethics and conduct LNT training and outreach
• participate in park planning, especially as it relates to visitor management capacity issues
