Roast marshmallows around a campfire
Gather around a warm campfire on a cool, fall night in Acadia National Park with your friends and family. Enjoy a nice night out while roasting tasty marshmallows or hot dogs; you can also tell campfire stories while the fire crackles in front of you. While you aren't advised to bring in your own firewood, due to non-native insects disrupting the park's ecosystem, you can buy and bring in local firewood.

Hear the crack of waves at Thunder Hole
A small inlet of rocks, Thunder Hole not only provides a gorgeous view of the sea, but it can also make a loud sound like thunder when air and water are pushed out of the area. Hold onto the railings because waves are strong here!
Take photographs of cute critters
Some of the animals you can see here include black bears, moose, loons, beavers, coyotes and more! Bring your camera and catch a picture of them in their natural habitat.
Attend a festival
There are two festivals that happen in Acadia National Park: National Junior Ranger Day in May and Eek of Ecology in October. Both are family-friendly, bringing your kids fun in the outdoors.
Collect a specimen

Best place on earth
Want to go to the best place on earth? You have come to the right place. Vast array of hiking trails swimming camping. It is open year round and it is Breath taking place. So much to explore. Don't forget to hike or climb Cadillac mountain at dawn. It's the first place on the east coast you can see the sunrise from.

Magical
Acadia is perfection, every season of the year. A magical and genuinely unique place where the magnificence of Nature and the best works of Man combine to create a sublime Paradise that somehow is both tranquil and dramatic in its beauty.

Wide open & pretty
Enjoyed two days at Acadia. Wide open hiking & nature walks. Former carriage paths make easy walking with plenty of space & fresh air.
