vast range of natural beauty. Acadia fully encompasses the quintessential essence
of Maine’s best nature. Take in the rugged mountains peeking out above the
treetops, covered in a blanket of evergreen forests. From streams and sounds to
ponds and ocean coastline, admire the striking contrast of the gentle blue waters
to the rocky shores. In autumn, colorful foliage appears to go on for miles,
continuing out of sight over the hills and valleys. In the early 1900’s, J. D.
Rockefeller commissioned a network of roads throughout the park, initially
designed for horse and carriage. These paths remain today but are frequented by
bikes and adventurers rather than buggies.
