Acadia National Park to Move to Cashless Fee Collection Beginning April 15

Beginning April 15th, if you head to Acadia National Park at one of their entrance stations, you'll need to have a credit card, debit card, mobile payment or have pre-purchased a pass to enter the Park.

The move to go cashless is intended to reduce the amount of time park staff spend managing cash and increase their availability to collect fees, increasing the amount of fee revenue available to support critical projects and visitor services.

Visitors who are only able to pay with cash may purchase a park pass from the following third-party vendors:

Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce, 2 Cottage Street, Bar Harbor

Gouldsboro Town Office, 59 Main St, Prospect Harbor

Jordan Pond Gift Shop, 2928 Park Loop Road, Seal Harbor (open seasonally)

Mount Desert Town Office, 21 Sea Street, Northeast Harbor

Mount Desert Chamber of Commerce, 42 Harbor Drive, Northeast Harbor (open seasonally)

Schoodic Institute Welcome Center, 1 Atterbury Circle, Winter Harbor (open seasonally)
