Acadia National Park

Cons: None except it gets too cold there too soon.

7/15- 7/27 This is the next review in my multi-part series of our 7-week summer traveling. Our next stop after W ashington, DC was Acadia National Park. A friend told us that everyone should see the Maine ...

Pros: Maine lobster and Maine people
Cons: none

My Background I am very well aware that many people in the northeastern United States dote on Acadia National Park. Perhaps I can blame some of the members of Epinions whom I trust for raising my expecations of it? "Compared with what?" has ...

Pros: Very Scenic, Trails, Bike Paths, Driving Tours, Ocean Views
Cons: Can be very, very crowded in summer

Acadia National Park – America’s easternmost National Park in the lower 48 (and I suppose the rest of the country) and where the sun’s rays first shine on the American coast each morning. It’s one outstanding park and should not ...

Pros: Magnificent surroundings, spectacular views, a haven for naturalists!
Cons: 4 million visitors yearly!

Good friends are worth their weight in gold! How lucky were we to get an invitation to spend a week with friends in their remote cabin on Mt. Desert Island in Maine. We jumped at the chance, especially when we found an $81 round-trip air fare special...

Pros: Rugged unspoiled beauty, diversity in activities
Cons: foggy days cold water. Hey, you are in Maine!

I have been traveling to Acadia National park for the last thirty something years. We have been there more than sixteen stays of a week to a month each time. The best part is that it really has never changed. The park covers the greater ...

Pros: Cadillac Mountain Perpendicular Trail Mt. Desert Island
Cons: Thunder Hole Bar Harbor

I initially decided to write a review here because once we decided on Acadia as our destination; during the research phase I found an enormous amount of insight from the other reviews listed below. Phil, whose ID is popsrock, possesses an incredible ...

Pros: Beautiful Views and Trails
Cons: Crowded in Summer

As a New England native, I have visited Maine's Acadia National Park, near Bar Harbor, many times. Acadia might not take your breath away like the over hyped and over rated Grand Canyon, but this attraction on Maine's picturesque coastline is my...

Pros: great ocean, beautiful surroundings, can be first to see the sun rise in the U.S.
Cons: COLD MORNINGS, pricey

Acadia National Park is one of the most beautiful parks that I have been to. I went there when I was a kid and all I remember is fun. I remember playing in the ocean on a beach and hiking on beautiful trials. I also remember driving up to Cadillac ...

Pros: Beautiful and peaceful vacation
Cons: a bit pricey during high tourist season

My dad discovered Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park a few years back and fell in love with everything about it. It became his favorite place to travel and he goes every year. He has taken each of his children up to see his favorite place as well. It...

Pros: Amazing, rugged scenery
Cons: Can't visit during winter months

I don't imagine there are too many places on this planet like Acadia National Park. It is pure, rugged beauty. Rugged being the key word. This is part of an area where you would be a complete goner if not for the roads. Left on your own to find your...

Pros: Many "out of car" activities, beautiful scenery, not too long.
Cons: As with every park, crowded during summer.

My husband and I have visited National Parks for the past 3 years. This year, we headed North for Acadia National Park in Maine. We thought the weather would be a nice relief from NYC's brutal summer and we were right.

Located about 8...

Pros: Scenic, something for everyone
Cons: the rocky coastline can, at times, prove dangerous

Acadia National Park is a maze of natural wonders along the rocky coast of Maine. From the time you actually enter the park, a drive through the Black Woods gives you a sense of being in the middle of a wonderland. The giant trees line the path, peppered...

Pros: Gorgeous views and plenty to do
Cons: Can become very crowded at times, limiting the things you can do in a day

Acadia National Park is a vacation spot where you plan to visit for a few days but end up staying a week. That's what happened to my family. Acadia National Park is right near the tourist resort of Bar Harbor, a quaint little town with a big...

Pros: Read above.
Cons: Tourism becomes heavy at times.

I don't think I could find any location closer to a paradise than Mount Desert Island on the coast of Maine. I was extremely fortunate to call it home for a few years, and I have lived near it my whole life. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of...

Pros: Excellent hiking trails, amazing scenery, interesting park history
Cons: Can be a little cold, even in the summertime

Six years ago, I started going to Bar Harbor for my vacations. I got this week-long pass to Acadia National Park, which covers about 20 miles of Mount Desert Island. There are so many things to do at the park, so many things to see (not to mention the...
