About Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park was originally recognized as Sieur de Monts National Monuments in 1916. It was reestablished as Lafayette National Park in 1919, the first national park east of the Mississippi River. The park was renamed Acadia in 1929. The park covers 49,052 acres in and around Mount Desert Island. The park owns four of the five Islands. Together Bar Island, Sheep Porcupine, Burnt Porcupine, Long Porcupine, and Bald Porcupine form an archipelago. Burnt Porcupine remains privately held. Among the islands, Bar Island is familiar to many visitors to Bar Harbor who take advantage of low tide to walk across the sandy bar that connects the town and island.
