 The
Nature Center, operated by the National Park Service in Acadia
National Park, provides answers to some of the most important
questions regarding the natural balances and dynamics at play. Issues
covered range from the air quality to the roles fires play to the variety
of wildlife that has been seen recently in the park. There are several
interesting and informative displays and a friendly person is available
to answer your questions.
 When
you drive into the parking area, you may wonder what all the fuss is
about. But leave your car to begin your exploration and soon you will
discover the Abbe Museum and
the Wild Gardens of Acadia in
the same general area. The beautiful paths and walking
trails throughout add to the enchanting experience. (pictures)
 The
center is open mid-June through late September and is located at the Sieur
de Monts Spring, 2 miles south of Bar Harbor near the intersection of the Park
Loop Road and Route 3 on Mount Desert
Island. Admission is free. The Island
Explorer Shuttle Bus has a pickup and drop-off point here.
