Top 10 Things To Do in Acadia National Park

#AcadiaNationalPark is the first national park east of the Mississippi and includes dozens of mountains, including the highest points in the U.S. Atlantic coast. Acadia National Park is definitely one of the smaller national parks, but it packs a ton of adventure covering most of Mt. Desert Island off the coast of Maine. If you're planning a trip, here's our list of the Top 10 Things To Do in Acadia National Park:

1. Climbing the Precipice Trail
2. Thunder Hole
3. Bar Island
4. Kayak in Frenchman Bay
5. Historic Carriage Roads
6. Jordan Pond and House
7. Cadillac Mountain
8. The Greathead Trail
9. Acadia National Park's 27-mile loop road
10. Acadia's one of the most dog-friendly national parks in the U.S. Take advantage of that and take your pup on the hiking trail

We started hiking at Sand Beach which is one of the most popular spots in the park. This oceanside hike winds its way through evergreen forest and it’s a little bit of a climb to get to the top of the cliffs. We then head to the coast of Maine to explore Frenchman Bay on sea kayaks. Frenchman Bay is a deep water inlet that lies between the mainland and Mount Desert Island. We check out Bar Island. Bar Island got its name from the sand bar that appears during low tide. You can walk across it to explore the island, but you gotta be quick because low tide only lasts about an hour and a half. We then head to one of the tallest peaks in the park - Champlain Mountain - hiking the Precipice Trail.
