Acadia National Park could see as many as 1 million fewer visits this year due to the coronavirus pandemic even as the park has had some of its most congested days this year. The park had received about 850,000 fewer visits as of the end of September than it had over the first nine months of 2019, during which it had nearly 2.95 million visits. If visitation this year continues to run behind by roughly 30 percent, Acadia would end up with about 2.4 million total visits for 2020, down from more than 3.4 million it had in total last year.
