Acadia National Park is popular among outdoors enthusiasts. It contains more than 120 miles (193 kilometers) of historic hiking trails and 45 miles (72 kilometers) of bikeable carriage roads. Park visitors can also go tidepooling, kayaking, or fishing on the coast or at the inland lakes. Acadia National Park tickets for private vehicles cost $25, while individuals arriving by bus or on foot must pay a $12 entrance fee. All vehicle reservations are valid for seven days.
It's possible to visit on an overnight tour of Maine from Boston, or on a multi-day tour of the United States' East Coast. Boat tours are another special way to see its sights. And for one of the park's essential experiences, follow the 27-mile (43-kilometer) Park Loop Road, which goes around the east side of Mount Desert Island.
