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.
