Established in 1916, Acadia National Park holds the distinction of being the first national park in the eastern United States.
The park covers approximately 49,000 acres, encompassing mountains, woodlands, lakes, and ocean shoreline.
Cadillac Mountain, standing at 1,530 feet, is the tallest peak on the eastern seaboard of the United States.
The park features 45 miles of historic carriage roads, designed by John D. Rockefeller Jr., which are closed to motor vehicles.
The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including moose, black bears, and peregrine falcons.
Acadia attracts more than 3.5 million visitors each year, making it one of the top ten most-visited national parks in the United States.
The park's lands have been inhabited by the Wabanaki people for thousands of years, long before European settlers arrived.
Acadia's landscape was shaped by glaciers during the last Ice Age, leaving behind its rugged terrain and unique geological features.
