Automated Fee Machines
Three types of weekly passes (Vehicle, Motorcycle, Individual) may be purchased by credit card from automated fee machines available year round 24 hours a day.
One is located at a pavilion in the parking lot the Hulls Cove Visitor Center.
Another is available inside a gatehouse at the entrance to the Schoodic Institute on the Schoodic Peninsula.
A variety of other annual and lifetime passes can be purchased online or at in-person sales locations listed below.
Online: Purchase and Print
Enjoy the convenience of purchasing your pass before you arrive. Once you have printed your pass, you can head directly to a trailhead or parking lot and leave the printed pass on your dashboard.
Note: Entrance passes must be printed before you arrive at the park, so they can be displayed on your vehicle’s dashboard. If you have a Cadilac Summit Vehicle Reservation, download or screen capture your QR (square confirmation) code to display at the check station. Cell service in Acadia is extremely limited, and you may not be able to retrieve your reservation once in the park.
