If any one place is emblematic of summer in Maine, it’s Acadia National Park.

Its beauty awes locals and tourists alike, and draws millions of people each summer to its own little corner of Maine (3.53 million in 2018, to be exact). Visitors delight in its plentiful hiking, beaches and even its food.
