People have been drawn to the rugged coast of Maine throughout history. Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land that became Acadia National Park. The park is home to a number of plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the scenery.

Welcome to the new Acadia National Park website! We are adding new content every day. Until the transition to the new site is complete, some links may take you to the prior site. Thanks for your patience; the end result will be worth the wait! 
Winter Activities
Yes, we're open in the winter! A number of facilities are closed, but you can still explore the park. When a fresh snow blankets the historic carriage roads, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing offer peaceful exploration. Snowmobiling and ice fishing are also popular activities.
 
Place to Go
Acadia National Park and the surrounding area are full of scenic and historic destinations. See a lighthouse up-close, explore exhibits at the Nature Center, and more.
 
Ranger-Led Programs
From late May through early October, park rangers present a variety of programs in the park. Hikes, walks, talks, boat tours, and evening presentations are offered most days.
