From the stunning coastline views of Acadia National Park to the remote wilderness of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, each park offers its own unique beauty. Whether you&rsquo;re looking for a challenging hike, a peaceful nature walk, or a historical tour, you&rsquo;re sure to find it in one of Maine&rsquo;s national parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Acadia the Only National Park in Maine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, Acadia National Park is <strong>not the only national park<\/strong> in Maine. In fact, there are <strong>four national parks<\/strong> in Maine (officially). Acadia Park is located on the mid-coast of Maine, south-west of Bar Harbor. It protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coast of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note, however, that while Acadia is the <strong>only park which is labeld with &ldquo;national park&rdquo;<\/strong>, the state is home to several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/state\/me\/index.htm\">other national sites managed by the National Park Service<\/a>. These include the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (<strong>=National Scenic Trail<\/strong>), Katahdin Woods (<strong>=National Monument<\/strong>) and Waters National Monument, Saint Croix Island International Historic Site, and Maine Acadian Culture. Each of these sites, while not designated as a national park, offers unique natural, cultural and historical experiences that are well worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need Bear Spray in Acadia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No<\/strong>, bear spray is not normally needed in Acadia National Park. There have been <strong>very few bear sightings<\/strong> in the park, and the chances of encountering one are <strong>extremely low<\/strong>. Black bears are not common on Mount Desert Island, where the park is located. The park&rsquo;s wildlife consists mainly of smaller mammals such as squirrels, foxes and raccoons, as well as a variety of bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&rsquo;s important to remember that you are in a natural environment and should respect all wildlife. Keep a safe distance, do not feed animals and secure your food and rubbish. If you have any concerns or questions, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to check with park rangers or staff for the most up-to-date and site-specific advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Acadia National Park worth a visit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan Pond, Acadia National Park\" class=\"wp-image-9034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1400x1050.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Jordan Pond, Acadia National Park\" class=\"wp-image-9034 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1400x1050.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-728x546.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-960x720.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1080x810.jpg.webp 1080w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-1200x900.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU-150x113.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nanda-firdaus-_CZRd9eDmU.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Jordan Pond, Acadia National Park<\/mark><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Acadia National Park is well worth a visit.
