Sweet Meat & Other Rewards: Acadia National Park

by richiecdisc - last update: Dec 4, 2003

It is not difficult to see why Acadia National Park is so popular. Though encompassing 35,000 acres, it is a very user-friendly and accessible tract of incredibly scenic coastal and forested land. With the best of Maine’s rugged coast as its calling card, it is among the top twenty most visited national parks. A twenty-mile loop road allows people of all capabilities to explore the main park features via either private automobile or free Island Explore Shuttles. For those so inclined, there is a fair number of hiking trails generally of short length and of varying ability levels. With roots dating back to the early 1900s, Acadia is beloved especially by all New Englanders who see the park’s natural beauty as perhaps the entire area’s most cherished asset. But no matter where you hail from, going “down East,” as locals call it will undoubtedly get into your bones. Once away, you will find yourself hankering not only for the sheer cliffs and rough blue waters, but for the friendly homey welcome you have left behind too.

 I wanted to hike in Acadia when we were in New England in 2006, but just did not have enough time to explore Maine. Only spent one day in Maine and that was en-route back to Boston from New Hampshire. Steve
