In order to see lots of stars in the night skies, you need a large expanse of land with no light pollution. The best place to find this on the east coast? Acadia National Park.
This gorgeous national park covers 47,000 acres of stunning wilderness right on the Atlantic coast.

If you live in a city, you probably have no idea how many stars fill the sky. Light pollution blocks out these twinkling gems.

Acadia National Park is open year-round. While the park can get pretty crowded during the summer, it’s much more quiet and peaceful during winter months.
