Acadia NP to require reservations to visit certain park sites during peak fall color season

Acadia National Park will require all motorists using the Sand Beach park entrance and Cadillac Summit Road to use a new vehicle registration program starting in October that could reduce traffic and parking congestion at these heavily-trafficked locations.
