This research project is designed to provide a detailed analysis of visitor activity on the historic Carriage Roads of Acadia National Park. Utilizing trail counters and various research methods, the project aims to understand the patterns, volume, and types of visitor usage. With the Carriage Roads facing challenges due to increasing visitor traffic and diverse usage types, this study is crucial for park management to develop maintenance strategies, conservation efforts, and ensure the sustainable enjoyment of these iconic pathways.
