Cadillac Summit Road Vehicle Reservations

Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park is among the smallest and most popular national parks in the United States with about 4 million visits a year. Growing visitation has caused severe traffic and parking congestion at the park’s most popular destinations, including Cadillac Mountain. The National Park Service has established a vehicle reservation system for Cadillac Summit Road so visitors can find a place to park and have a safe, enjoyable experience. Vehicle reservations are not required for other locations in the park or for visitors who travel by foot, bicycle, or taxi. In addition to purchasing a vehicle reservation for Cadillac Summit Road, vehicles must display a park entrance pass through the windshield.
