Abundant flora and fauna populate the park. Established in 1919 Acadia National Park is the oldest park east of the Mississippi River. Located in coastal Maine it was first discovered in the 17th century by the explorer Champlain. Four centuries later the landscape remains largely unchanged. While the park itself is only one percent of the landmass of Maine, it contains fifty percent of the state’s native vascular plant species. These rich florae support a variety of wildlife available for viewing such as black bears, iconic moose, beavers, deer, and foxes. Peregrine falcons nest in the park each summer, and for their protection, some of the park’s trails are closed during this time.
