Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke formally backed off plans to hike entrance parks dramatically at National Parks including Acadia National Park according to The Hill

According to a release from the National Park Service the changes, which come in response to public comments on a fee proposal released in October 2017, will modestly increase entrance fees to raise additional revenue to address the $11.6 billion in deferred maintenance across the system of 417 parks, historic and cultural sites, and monuments

Acadia National Park's Annual pass will go from $50 to $55 effective June 1st. The per vehicle 7 day pass will go from $25.00 to $30.00 and the per person pass will go from $12.00 to $15.00.
