It ’ s in Our Nature

PARKS , PRESERVES , AND PUBLIC RESERVED LANDS
DownEast Acadia ’ s most significant asset is its vast and beautiful natural areas , from an inland network of grand lakes to a dramatic , bold coast . Amongst all of this , many thousands acres of preserved lands provide public access to hundreds of miles of hiking trails and paddling routes .
With some of the cleanest water and least developed natural areas on the East Coast of the US , including forests that harbor rare and unusual plant communities , DownEast Acadia is ideal for wildlife watching , birding , fishing , stargazing , or soaking in the quiet beauty .
The recreation areas and intact wildlife habitats that provide all of these experiences are here for us to enjoy thanks to our incredible network of National and State Parks , National Wildlife Refuges , State Public Reserve Lands , Wabanaki Tribal Reservations , our many land trust preserves , and private landowners who generously provide public access .
Discover for yourself this magical landscape where people still live in harmony with nature ’ s rhythms and live attuned to the shifting tides and the changing seasons .
