The first of four national park birthdays today! Acadia actually spent 10 years as Lafayette National Park before it became Acadia National Park on this day in 1929. As with all the national parks, the human history of the area predates the national park by thousands of years. Known for spectacular coastlines, pristine lakes and world-class hiking - Acadia welcomes over 2 million visitors every year. What is your best memory of Acadia National Park?
