Acadia Makes a List of Five Parks to Visit in Fall: Ideas for Your Trip

Thinking about visiting Acadia this fall? Acadia ranks third out of five parks on a list from More Than Just Parks, according to 92moose.fm. It's a starting point for planning your trip, with one distinction to keep in mind. The ranking suggests a destination without telling you what you'll see when you visit.

According to 92moose.fm, the list highlights the fall colors of Acadia's deciduous forests. That gives you a theme to consider as you plan your visit. Still, we recommend keeping your interest in colorful scenery separate from any specific expectations about the foliage when you arrive.

The selection also highlights two places, according to 92moose.fm, Cadillac Mountain and Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. If you're looking for a few names to help you start planning, these two sites are a good starting point. Their inclusion gives you ideas, but it doesn't amount to a visit itinerary on its own.

The key point when planning your trip is that the list doesn't specify current foliage conditions. You can't use this ranking to draw conclusions about the colors visible right now. It also doesn't let you choose a date with the promise of a particular view.

To turn that inspiration into travel plans, take a look at the Acadia National Park guide. Use the places mentioned as starting points, then plan your visit without assuming what the fall colors will look like.

If fall is your reason for choosing Acadia, this selection gives you ideas for your trip. We see it as a source of suggestions for places to visit, while leaving open the question of what the landscape will look like when you get there.
