Hi folks -

I am considering a trip (maybe 10 days) exploring the coast of Acadia
National Park.  Hoping to camp along the way, possibly with a night or two
in an inn.  Does anyone have any information on this area, camping, or
lodging information?  What about weather - is the start of hurricane
season a reason to avoid September?


  Get a copy of Dorcas Miller's book "kayaking the Maine Coast" Back Country Press.
It has about the best discussion of Kayaking the Maine coast to date.  Tamisin Venn's 
book "Sea kayaking along the New England Coast" AMC Books, is also good but not 
as up to date.  Parts of Acadia are very exposed to the the wild wild ocean so care 
must be taken. Also there may be some outfitters that could help you if you are so 
inclined.  At any rate hope you have a great trip- hope all this snow is melted by the 
time you want to come.
