This vast expanse that covers 35,000 acres is actually a part  of Mt. Desert Island. Established in 1919, the park continued to grow through  the generous donations of individuals who purchased large parcels of land and  added them to the holdings. Drawing throngs of visitors from across the nation  and throughout the world each year, the park is particularly accessible to  Maine residents, who enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities against a  backdrop of exceptional natural beauty. A pristine example of the picturesque  terrain for which Maine is so famous, Acadia encompasses breathtaking islands,  forests, lakes, mountains, rock formations, and miles of pristine seacoast.
