You can avoid the crowds at Acadia in two ways—visit in the summer or skip those jam-packed Acadia National Park tours. The most important thing is to avoid those typical Acadia National Park tours, like buses or guided experiences and instead go for a self-guided one.
A fulfilling Acadia National Park tour will take at least two hours to drive! One of the best ways to explore Acadia is by driving through the park in your car. This can be a full-day excursion filled with hikes, picnics, and photo ops.
The absolute best month to visit Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine, is undeniably October. That’s when Acadia’s claim to fame — the stunning fall colors — reaches its peak vibrancy. If you can’t make it to Acadia in October, late September also features these beautiful autumn leaves.
The exact best time to visit Acadia National Park can depend heavily on the weather conditions. If nights get cold pretty early on, you can feel safe visiting in late September. If you're not sure, your safest bet is smack-dab in the middle of October!
Just because summer is over doesn't mean you can't take a vacation! Cool autumn days are just around the corner, the perfect time for a weekend trip through the woods. And there's nowhere better to witness fall than on an Acadia National Park tour in Maine!
