Acadia National Park just had its busiest October ever. The National Park Service estimates Acadia had 567,466 visits last month. That was 10,000 more visits than the park had during October in 2021, which was its busiest year on record with just over 4 million total visits across all months. Last month also included the busiest day ever in the park — regardless of time of year — when 3,636 vehicles drove through the Sand Beach entrance station on Oct. 13, the Sunday of Indigenous People’s Day weekend.
