Acadia National Park is one of the most visited parks in the US Ocean Drive, MDI Rugosa Roses Some less traveled places: Besides the obvious ocean drive loop, there are some short hikes that are worth investigating - the sports stores in town have hiking guides, or check with the NP-- there's a trail that goes up a gorge on the back side of Cadillac that's moderate [about 500' in a mile or so] and very good for macro work - lichens, mosses, etc. [as is the viewpoint on top of Cadillac - everyone stares into the distance when the most amazing patterns appear on the exposed pink granite]. Or go out past Seawall [worth a stop] to Ship Harbor & Wonderland -- these are popular but less crowded than the main road. Thuya gardens, near NE Harbor is lovely.
Most PFA [people from away] never get over to the back side of the Island -- McKinley & Bernard are still picturesque yet actual working fishing villages, and you can visit the Bass Harbor lighthouse nearby.

	If you have more time, Schoodic Point is a beautiful drive and walk - wide granite ledges, looking across to Acadia. It's a couple of miles down east [Maine talk for north] along the coast, a separate part of Acadia Park.
