Acadia Mountain Trail Details
The popular Acadia Mountain hiking trail gives you the chance to enjoy unobstructed views of Somes Sound and experience some of the unique biological diversity of Acadia.

This unusual mix is an indicator of Acadia's location in a transition zone between northern and southern environments.
