Dramatic rescues punctuated a busy June for Acadia rangers

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 6, 2024

Rangers at Acadia National Park have had their hands full. They received a larger number of calls this past June than they did in the same month last year, even though park visitation is down this year. Some of their most dramatic rescues stacked up in the later part of the month, including the rescue of a climber on South Bubble Mountain, hikers who separately suffered injuries three days later on South Bubble and Gorham mountains, and a truck that drove over a cliff on the Park Loop Road. The park also sent staff when a New Hampshire man drowned off Bar Harbor.
