Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the east coast of the United States. This place has it all: woods, mountains, lakes and the ocean. Acadia also takes the prize as one of the most dog-friendly parks in the country. Acadia National Park is roughly 50 miles southeast of Bangor and covers most of Mount Desert Island - the largest island off the coast of Maine. It became a park in 1916 and was the first one established east of the Mississippi. Each year, two and half million visitors come to check out the rocky cliffs, winding roads, and 120 miles trails.
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.
