Centered around the seaside village of Bar Harbor, the park is famed for heights like Cadillac Mountain (the highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast), frequent sea smoke in winter, and accessibility with well-maintained trails and visitor facilities. Beyond the peaks, expect tidal pools, long sandy beaches like Sand Beach, and preserved historic sites such as the George D. Dorr Circular Road. Whether threading the carriage paths, hiking alpine summits, or watching sunrise from the summit of Cadillac Mountain, Acadia rewards with varied terrain and seasons of outdoor discovery.
