Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park reminds me of Martha’s Vineyard because it has so many beaches and Martha’s Vineyard does too. The rocks are all brown or gray and the sound of the water SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! sounds so nice.

How It Formed

There is a U-shaped valley from the glaciers and it turned into Acadia National Park. Watch this animation.
