Magnificent Acadia National Park, where the mountains meet the sea, offers about 55 miles of the Rockefeller carriage roads and 160 miles of hiking trails. During the Spring, Summer and Fall, some of the many suggested activities might be hiking, biking, kayaking, whale watching, visiting interesting museums, sailing, canoeing, fishing, boutiquing, antiquing and touring.

If you are an explorer, we suggest you spend at least a week. Day trips can easily be taken to Blue Hill, Castine, Camden, Deer Isle, Schoodic Peninsula and Campabello Island, FDR's summer home.

These are a few of the many things to do and see...
