Few places offer such diversity as Acadia National Park. You can discover the coast's countless islands, each one distinct from the other, watch the sun set from atop Blue Mountain, stroll through the charming village of Castine, stretch out on the beach at Lamoine State Park, or hang out on the fisherman's wharves in Stonington or Corea. Expert travel writer Hilary Nangle helps you have a truly personal experience in this beautiful region. Suggested travel strategies and lists of must-see sights provide you with the real insights so you can decide where you should go, stay, and eat--without hassles or regrets. Hilary details where to hike, paddle, bike, climb, ski, snowshoe, and picnic. Complete with maps, photographs, illustrations, and special emphasis on leading destinations such as Mount Desert Island, Schoodic Peninsula, Isle au Haut, Donnell Pond Public Reserved Lands, the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge at Petit Manan, and outlying towns.
Summer is crazy in and around the park. We were definitly glad we could have a plan of what we wanted to do and see. Thanks to this book we had a good overview of the park along with specifics of where to rent bikes, where to eat, where to stay and so on. It really helped us to use our short time there wisely.
Well-rounded Coverage

This book is well written. It seems quite complete. I do have to qualify that our trip involved cooking on our own, hiking and a little bicycling, so we didn't avail ourselves of all the other things to do in the park and surrounding areas. I like the layout and the text font. The reference maps are clear.
