Fantastic view..but windy!

Went to the top around 11a on a Monday in October. Less crowded but lot still very full. There is a narrow rock/path that goes around for great views of Bar Harbor and out to sea!

Drive to the top was nice. Took and hour for the last half mile. Waiting for people to leave and open up a parking space. Very limited parking. Can’t imagine June or July. But once your there you can spend an hour or two just...More

Race to sunrise @ the Top

As the title states, I raced to the top one morning to see the sun rise. It was cold and windy and so exquisite! A guaranteed experience. Go experience it with your loved one or family. It is like no other.

What A View!

Arrived in Acadia National Park (late in my opinion) at 11 am, on a Monday in late September. The leaves had not changed yet, but the view out to the ocean was outstanding. Parking was a little hectic as it was pretty late to arrive...More

Fab views

Visited on a clear, sunny autumn day so had the best view of the ‘fall’ colours from Cadillac mountain. Beautiful sight but busy with traffic so allow extra time to find parking space.

We did see dogs leashed. Majority of areas allow. Looks like there are some areas where they aren't allowed and others not recommended. Cadillac was not recommended it appears. Google Acadia national park dogs allowed

Yes, you do need to buy a permit. I can't say more than that because we were on a coach trip off a ship. The driver did comment that visitors need to stop at the park office to get their permit and the rangers are very... More
