Acadia National Park - Part One: Acadia National Park's Transportation Plan

Acadia National Park, the first national park in the eastern U.S., was created from private lands gifted to the public. It protects ecological, cultural, and scenic values, offering diverse experiences. The park is integrated with local communities, providing recreational opportunities and jobs.
