Events and Activities Included in the Quest

The events and activities that are part of the 2011 Acadia Quest program have been divided into five categories: Hike, Bike, Walk, Swim/Boat (water activities), and Events. Teams must complete six activities in at least four categories to complete the Quest and be eligible for the grand prize drawing. Visit the rules page for a full list of requirements.

In addition, the team that completes the most activities overall will receive special recognition and a surprise prize!

Activities for a variety of skill levels have been included. Please choose activities suitable for the experience and abilities of your team members. Some locations may be tricky to find...look in maps or the ANP webiste, ask a ranger, or give Friends of Acadia a call if you're really stumped!
