Park is the best park in the whole world! And do you know why

Acadia National Park is the best because of how beautiful it is. Acadia
NP is known for its scenery. That is why Acadia NP was made so they can
preserve the nature in a not harmful way. If you love nature I suggest you
visit Acadia NP but not yet I still have to tell you some info about it. A
French settler founded Acadia in 1604. The settlers name was Champlain; he
was attracted to Acadia by all the beautiful scenery and mountains. Acadia
NP has about 35,000 Acers of awesomeness. You just need to go to Acadia
to see all this I am talking about but don’t go yet I have more to tell you.
Acadia NP has many, many amazing animals that live there. Some of
Acadia NP’s sea animals are; Crabs, Sea Urchins, Sea Anemones, Harbor
Seals, star fish, they are home to the endangered Hump Back Whales, and
you can find seaweed as well as barnacles on Acadia NP’s sea shores too.
And one more thing the lobster you can’t forget the lobster it is Acadia NP’s
most famous creature there that lives in the Maine’s Ocean. Those are only
some sea creatures there are more than three hundred sea species. Also there
are many land Animals like the Red Fox they are the most common in
Acadia NP, unlike the Bobcats and the Black Bears are very rare. As for
birds there are 300 species of birds like, the Warblers, Peregrines, Falcons,
Golden Eagles, and more. Other animals they have there is the Snowshoe
Hares, and White Tail Deer. Acadia NP is also home to the endangered
animals like, Red Bats, and Pygmy Shrews. Acadia has many trees to like,
the Aspen Birch, Maples, Evergreens, Sugar Maples, and many, many more
trees. Those are Acadia NP’s plants and animals. Now for Acadia NP’s
natural features like, the tides they change twice a day, also at Acadia NP
they have a mountain called the Cadillac, which attracts a lot of tourists,
Acadia NP has mountains, islands, and the ocean beautiful amazing clear
ocean that you would very likely enjoy but there is a lot more features and
those are; the Sandy beach, which is the only beach that is actually sandy in
Acadia. There is one more feature I would like to share with you and that is,
that if you look at Acadia NP’s coast lines you will find colorful granite
cliffs and cobblestone beaches. And that is Acadia NP’s features but just for
the recorded there are so many more features.

2. Just to let you know Acadia NP has so much history so I’m going to
tell you just some like you know, how Acadia NP was made and when and
all that good stuff. Acadia NP was made by glaciers. Acadia NP used to be
named Sieur de Monts in 1916 but then it changed to Lafayette NP in 1919
then finally it was renamed to Acadia NP. D Rockefeller Jr. constructed
efforts from 1913-1940 for the carriage roads, for the horse carriages to ride
through the park. Some people called his roads art systems. He made about
45 miles of carriage roads going through Acadia NP. In 1913 President
Woodrow Wilson set aside 6,000 acres of land for Acadia NP. Then
Rockefeller Jr. donated 11,000 acres of land to Acadia NP. Acadia is now
made up of about 35,000 acres of land. In 1947 a great forest fire destroyed
Acadia NP’s great evergreen forest and may more trees. The forest fire
destroyed a total of 17,000 acres but only 11,000 acres from Acadia NP.
Now I’m going to talk about Acadia NP’s culture. Well you can do many
things at Acadia NP you can go hiking, fishing, swimming, horse back
riding, you can ride a carriage around Acadia NP or drive s car around it to,
you can go skiing, go on boats, ice fishing snowmobiling, and cross country
skiing in the winter too. You can stay in a cottage in Acadia NP too. So now
do you want to go to Acadia NP, because it sounds awesome to me? That
was Acadia NP’s culture now listen in because here come some challenges
that Acadia NP faces today.
Acadia NP’s challenges are the wild fire. I know that didn’t happen
today but it has been dragged on to today because of the trees that were
ruined. It takes a long time for trees to grow back so Acadia NP is still trying
to grow there trees back. Also along with there plants and animals they are
trying to grow and bring back. It can take over a million years for Acadia NP
to get all that they lost back. Also another challenge Acadia NP faces is the
pollution that they bring with them when people visit Acadia NP when
people come the with there cars they pollute the air and it gets people that
are around Acadia NP mad because of the pollution that they are making
bringing in people like that. All those are examples of the challenges of
Acadia NP.
There are so many more cool things about Acadia that I did not tell
you about but I guess you will have to go there to find them out yourself.
Now it is time that you should go to Acadia NP if you haven’t went yet. So I
guess I will see you there sometime. Just when you are there just take time
to look at all of the area that has re-grown from the wild fire and you will see
how good it has re-grown. Now is the time you should go book your visit
bye-bye.
