Acadia National Park: Greatest Scenery of the North American Continent

Planning a trip to Acadia National Park? A scenic flight is a great way to get a bird’s eye view of this attraction.

People have been drawn to the rugged coast of Maine throughout history. Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land that became Acadia National Park. The park is home to many plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, take scenic flights or relax and enjoy the scenery.
