If you're coming up I-95, stop at any of the visitor centers to get all of the brochures and pamphlets you'll ever need. Major centers are just off I-95 in Yarmouth and in Hampden. There is also a visitor center on Thompson Island, which you must cross when going from the mainland to Mount Desert Island. And, of course, there is Acadia's visitor center, where you can buy your park pass and pick up a free copy of the park newspaper, the Beaver Log.
