Acadia trail maps
If you’re looking for a detailed Acadia trails map, I recommend the Map Adventures waterproof trail map. This map contains topographic lines and trail mileages, so it is much superior to the free Acadia maps posted above. It usually sells for around $10 and is well worth the purchase if you’re going to do anything more than an easy walk. (This is a better map than the National Geographic Trails Illustrated Acadia map.)
