Description
Frenchman Bay and the Porcupine Islands around the town of Bar Harbor, viewed from Cadillac Mountain.
Acadia National Park is a National Park located in the U.S. in the state of Maine.
It reserves much of Mount Desert Island, and associated smaller islands, off the Atlantic coast.
Originally created as Lafayette National Park in 1919, the oldest National Park east of the Mississippi River, it was renamed Acadia in 1929
The park includes mountains, an ocean shoreline, woodlands, and lakes.
In addition to Mount Desert Island, the park comprises much of the Isle au Haut, parts of Baker Island, and a portion of the Schoodic Peninsula on the mainland.
In total, Acadia National Park consists of more than 47,000 acres (19,000 ha), including 30,300 acres (12,300 ha) on Mount Desert Island, 2,728 acres (1,104 ha) on Isle au Haut and 2,366 acres (957 ha) on the Schoodic Peninsula.
The permanent park boundary, as established by act of Congress in 1986, includes a number of private in-holdings that the park is attempting to acquire.
Cadillac Mountain, named after the French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, is on the eastern side of the island.
Its green, lichen-covered, pink granite summit is, because of a combination of its eastern location and height, one of the first places in the United States to see the sunrise.
Also included in this image is the famous Schooner "Margaret Todd" sailing through the fog and a small speed boat in the center of this image.

This brings back many good memories - Acadia is one of the most beautiful locations on the East coast.
