Acadia National Park in Maine is one of the Top Ten most popular national parks in the country... but what's there to see, and what're the top attractions in the park? Acadia has mountains, lakes, woods, trails, miles of ocean coastline and more. But what should you see when you're there? This video highlights some of the most iconic places you'll want to see on your visit, so you can spend more time seeing the best sights, and less time wondering where to go next.
You might have heard of Cadillac Mountain and Thunder Hole, but do you know the best times to visit them? And when should you not visit the lighthouse? As a professional photographer whose photos are collected worldwide and sold in galleries and online, I've made it my mission to seek out the best places to visit and photograph in Acadia.
I've been visiting Acadia National Park every year since 2006 and have come to know the Park intimately. I've written an ebook for photographers, The Photographer's Guide to Acadia (see below), as well as a coffee table book about autumn in Acadia, Under October Skies. I love Acadia and enjoy sharing my knowledge of the park. Don't waste precious time trying to find the best places to visit. Check out this video and then start planning your trip!

    I’ve been to Arcadia & visited a donor who wrote childrens books… it’s as beautiful as this man describes it with many hidden gifts for visitors no matter how many times you go!❄️😀

    Another beautiful national park. I have been there a couple times. By the way you are incorrect about Cadillac Mountain. It is NOT the tallest Mount Washington in New Hampshire is.

    We are heading there mid April. Will all that you mentioned in the video be open?

    You'll need to check with the Park Service. Some roads may still be closed if there's any snow on the ground, but you shouldn't have a problem getting round to most places. Many businesses don't open until the Memorial Day weekend, so things will definitely be a lot quieter. There's a reservation system in place for driving up Cadillac Mountain now, but you won't have to deal with it if you're going in April.

    How ideal is Acadia for stargazing, can you see lots of stars? I love stargazing, I’m planning to go this summer.

    Hey Adrian, Acadia is the perfect place to do stargazing. There's a Dark Sky festival in August or September and lots of photographers flock to Acadia to shoot the Milky Way- I shot a lot of the MW along the coast and inland this past year. You could be lucky and see the aurora borealis too- though that's not too common.

    Yeah, you should get some great views of it, and if it's a clear and moonless night, you'll see a million stars.

    Technically, but Mount Washington is nowhere near the coast; it's 100 miles by car or 70 miles as the crow flies. Cadillac is right on the coast- its slopes end in the ocean.

    John 3:16-2116 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
