National Park Acadia | Acadia National Park | in the state of Maine, southwest of Bar Harbor
Acadia National Park is an American national park located in the state of Maine, southwest of Bar Harbor.
The park preserves about half of Mount Desert Island, many adjacent smaller islands, and part of the Schoodic Peninsula on the coast of Maine.
Acadia was initially designated Sieur de Monts National Monument by proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson in 1916.
Sieur de Monts was renamed and redesignated Lafayette National Park by Congress in 1919—the first national park in the United States east of the Mississippi River and the only one in the Northeastern United States.
The park was renamed Acadia National Park in 1929.
More than 3.5 million people visited the park in 2018.
Native Americans of the Algonquian nations have inhabited the area called Acadia for at least 12,000 years.
They traded furs for European goods when French, English, and Dutch ships began arriving in the early 17th century.
The Wabanaki Confederacy has held an annual Native American Festival in Bar Harbor since 1989.
Samuel de Champlain named the island Isle des Monts Deserts in 1604.
The island was granted to Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac by Louis XIV of France in 1688, then ceded to England in 1713.
Summer visitors, nicknamed rusticators, arrived in 1855, followed by wealthy families, nicknamed cottagers as their large houses were quaintly called cottages.
Charles Eliot is credited with the idea for the park.
George B. Dorr, the Father of Acadia National Park, along with Eliot's father Charles W. Eliot, supported the idea through donations of land, and advocacy at the state and federal levels.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. financed the construction of carriage roads from 1915 to 1940.
A wildfire in 1947 burned much of the park and destroyed 237 houses, including 67 of the millionaires’ cottages.
The park includes mountains, an ocean coastline, coniferous and deciduous woodlands, lakes, ponds, and wetlands encompassing a total of 49,075 acres as of 2017.
Key sites on Mount Desert Island include Cadillac Mountain—the tallest mountain on the eastern coastline and one of the first places in the United States where one can watch the sunrise—a rocky coast featuring Thunder Hole where waves crash loudly into a crevasse around high tides, a sandy swimming beach called Sand Beach, and numerous lakes and ponds.
Jordan Pond features the glacially rounded North and South Bubbles at its northern end, while Echo Lake has the only freshwater swimming beach in the park.
Somes Sound is a five-mile long fjard formed during a glacial period that reshaped the entire island to its present form, including the U-shaped valleys containing the many ponds and lakes.
The Bass Harbor Head Light is situated above a steep, rocky headland on the southwest coast—the only lighthouse on the island.
The park protects the habitats of 37 mammalian species including black bears, moose and white-tailed deer, seven reptilian species including milk snakes and snapping turtles, eleven amphibian species including wood frogs and spotted salamanders, 33 fish species including rainbow smelt and brook trout, and as many as 331 birds including various species of raptors, songbirds and waterfowl.
In 1991, peregrine falcons had a successful nesting in Acadia for the first time since 1956.
Falcon chicks are often banded to study migration, habitat use, and longevity.
Some trails may be closed in spring and early summer to avoid disturbance to falcon nesting areas.
Recreational activities from spring through autumn include car and bus touring along the park's paved loop road; hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding on carriage roads ; rock climbing; kayaking and canoeing on lakes and ponds; swimming at Sand Beach and Echo Lake; sea kayaking and guided boat tours on the ocean; and various ranger-led programs.
Winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.
Two campgrounds are located on Mount Desert Island, another campground is on the Schoodic Peninsula, and five lean-to sites are on Isle au Haut.
The main visitor center is at Hulls Cove, northwest of Bar Harbor.
Native Americans have inhabited the area called Acadia for at least 12,000 years, including the coastal areas of Maine, Canada, and adjacent islands.
The Wabanaki Confederacy consists of five related Algonquian nations—the Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki and Penobscot.
Some of the nations call Mount Desert Island Pemetic , which has remained at the center of the Wabanaki traditional ancestral homeland and territory of traditional stewardship responsibility to the present day.
The etymology of the park's name begins with the Mi'kmaq term akadie which was rendered as l'Acadie by French explorers, and translated into English as Acadia
The Wabanaki traveled to the island in birch bark canoes to hunt, fish, gather berries, harvest clams and basket-making resources like sweetgrass, and to trade with other Wabanakis.
They camped near places like S

Great climb. Family loved it, though they'll never admit it.
Acadia National Park - Beachcroft Trail to Champlain Mountain
It was a cool, windy day when I took this hike on Sept 16, 2011. There was a bit of a chill in the office but once on the trail the cool air was very refreshing.
The 2.4 mile hike is an out and back and starts off with a walk through the woods. Soon you come to a granite stone path. It is remarkable to think that all of these perfectly shaped stones, that are quite heavy, were placed here by the people that built the trail over 100 years ago.
The stone trail becomes steeper with stairs and switchbacks until you reach the plateau at the top of Huguenot Head. Although a good hike, it does not seem like you have climbed so high so fast. Already the scenery is breathtaking.
After a short walk through a valley you come to the second half of the ascent. At this point it becomes more of a rock scramble as you climb Champlain Mountain. After the initial steeper rock sections it becomes more of a climb up a smooth large section of granite until you reach the top of Champlain Mountain. At this point you are very glad you stuck with it. The vistas are amazing! The view over Frenchman Bay is beautiful.
The top of the mountain is also the place where you end up if you climb the Precipice Trail or the Bear Brook Trail. After enjoying the view, the descent down the trail is relatively easy, just a few steep areas to watch your footing. The entire hike took about three hours and that included an hour at the top. I definitely recommend this hike for anyone in average condition. I hope to do it again soon!
The trail is located 2 miles outside of Bar Harbor travelling toward Seal Harbor on Rte 3. The parking area is just beyond the Sieur de Monts entrance to Acadia National Park. The entrance to the trail is a little beyond the parking area and across the street.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
