FYI - All of Acadia is 100% day hiking. There isn't really backpacking to be done in the park. I don't even think there are backcountry camping sites.

5-7 days is a lot of time in the park, I wish I had that much time (I had 3 days when I went). I find that none of the trails are particularly strenuous, none of the mountains are that high, views are still sublime throughout the park. It may be worth it to get a guidebook ($20 is a cheap expense compared to a long trip). I got this one which has pretty much every hike in the park.

Utilize Acadia On My Mind and Joe's Guide to ANP (Citrusmilo is the domain). Great resources.

This was posted a few days back. I commented there, too. Try /r/maine (use the search) as well.

Less crowded, great views - Acadia Mountain. A lot of the western half of the island is ignored by tourists. Take advantage of that by spending a day or two exploring that part.

Acadia National Park in Maine has the best combination of bicycling, paddling, and hiking that I know of on the east coast.

  • Bicycling: The park is criscrossed by car-free carriage roads made of packed gravel. Awesome views, too. Bring your own, or rent mountain bikes in Bar Harbor.

  • Paddling: There are lakes and Sommes Sound for a canoe, or take a guided sea kayak tour in Bar Harbor.

  • Hiking: Since Acadia is coastal, you get semi-alpine conditions with low trees and great water views for relatively little effort.

    And Bar Harbor has a certain amount of culture/food. Make sure to get popovers at Jordan Pond House.

    A great guide to Acadia trails and paddles is AMC Discover Acadia National Park:

    Alternatively, the White Mountain National Forest has a network of huts about a day's hike apart. The huts are not cheap, but they offer breakfast and dinner, so you only have to carry lunch, water, and snacks.

    I'm not aware of any cliff diving on the US east coast. We don't tend to have that kind of geography here (I could be wrong?).
