Why visits to Acadia National Park dropped in June

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 8, 2023

The number of tourists who have visited Acadia National Park this year was on pace to exceed last year’s high numbers, but then June happened. Acadia had nearly 38,000 fewer visits this June than it did for the corresponding month a year ago, when it had more than 600,000 visits. With the year’s lower June numbers, Acadia’s running total was set back more than 11,000 visits behind where it was on July 1, 2022. The excess of rain in June is likely why visitation to the park slowed down.
