Despite the persistent drumbeat of waves at its shores, Acadia National Park endures: a shining jewel of the Atlantic Coast. Though it is one of the smaller national parks, it is among the 10 most visited. And for over a century, Acadia has stood like a sentinel guarding irreplaceable shorelines, mountains, and forests. Of course, we couldn’t take in all this beauty without recommending some ways to help bring some of this park’s charm to your next project.

Fresh water still finds its place— even in the midst of this salt-sprayed landscape; Mount Desert Island alone boasts more than 25 lakes and ponds.

Alkemis paint colors that catch the park’s essence include Gran Canaria, which echoes the hues of the sun-soaked stones, and Arboreal, which captures some of the water’s complex blues. As for stone, there are several selections from among Buechel’s expansive offerings that fit the bill.

Granite Cobbles echo the shape and palette of ones found in the bridges that help connect the park’s 45 miles of carriage roads, which were originally financed by John D. Rockefeller and remain motorvehicle free today.

Meanwhile, Full Color Castle Rock celebrates the sight of sunrise dawning on Cadillac Mountain with an exuberant color range including purples, mauves, blues, buffs, and beyond.
