Want to make the most out of your trip?
Save on gas- leave your car where you're staying and walk, bike, or ride the fare-free Island Explorer Bus
- enjoy a car-free biking experience on any part of the 45-mile long carriage road system
- catch the views from a hiking trail
- Early birds: check out our most iconic views before everyone else by getting up early
- Sunrise and sunset solitude: Cadillac Mountain may be the most popular place to watch sunrise or sunset, but that means it's also the busiest
- Night owls: full moon walks across Sand Beach, shooting stars over Cadillac Mountain, owl calls in the still of the night... half the fun in the park is after dark!
- Try a new season: winter, spring, and late fall are quieter times in Acadia and a great place to come to avoid the summer crowds
- Try a different angle: view Acadia from a boat, an island, or a place that may be new to you
