Thanks to the robber barons who used the park as a private playground in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the islands of Acadia have been preserved for the masses in a pristine state.Acadia's largest island, Mount Desert Island, encompasses a stunning range of geological diversity, including rocky Atlantic shoreline, lush forests of spruce and fir, dozens of lakes and ponds, and rugged granite hills boasting panoramic views of the ocean. You can savor the tranquility of a serene mountain lake one moment and enjoy the roar of the pounding surf the next. The first U.S. National Park east of the Mississippi, Acadia is laced with hiking and biking trails, studded with mountains, and home to a menagerie of wildlife. Small wonder it ranks among the most popular national parks in the country. Acadia is an extraordinary corner of the country for outdoor lovers of every stripe, a place where the kids will never have time to be bored or wonder what they're missing back home on television.
