No please don't come up here. They found a skeleton in the woods never me and once they discovered they were from away they kind of shrugged. Foresters found the bones when accessing timber. I was there Friday at ANP and the place was a madhouse so we drove north towards Machias. One hour of looking for a parking space and then seeing every trail head parking overloaded convinced me to avoid that park except maybe winter or really early spring.

Acadia’s really not bad once you get out on the trails. A lot of people never make it very far from Park Loop Road.

The trail head parking was jammed. I will go when the crowds die down. Went years before and saw hardly anyone. What a difference from 20 years ago. There are plenty of other great spots and trails so no problem.

Yeah, I live in Bar Harbor and I’ve seen a noticeable change in crowds over the last 15+ years. Still, even when the parking lots are full it’s usually not too bad once you get on trail because everyone that parked at the trailhead is spread out (and possibly taking different routes).
