Vibrant Fall Colors Shine in Maine’s Acadia National Park

by Michael Bonocore April 22, 2017
written by Michael Bonocore April 22, 2017

Encompassing just shy of 50,000 acres, Acadia National Park in Maine is the oldest U.S. National Park east of the Mississippi River. Over 3 million visitors visit the park annually, and it’s easy to see why. Jim and Will Pattiz, the filmmaking brothers behind ‘More Than Just Parks’

Sculpted by Glaciers and landscaped by beavers, Acadia is full of wonderfully unique features. Rounded mountains, tranquil ponds, rocky coastline, & some of the most beautiful trails in the world comprise this marvelous wonder.

Jim and Will Pattiz, the filmmaking brothers behind ‘More Than Just Parks’ describe the allure of the park perfectly.

Sculpted by Glaciers and landscaped by beavers, Acadia is full of wonderfully unique features. Rounded mountains, tranquil ponds, rocky coastline, & some of the most beautiful trails in the world comprise this marvelous wonder.

As in a couple of their films, the brothers ventured to Acadia to capture the autumn colors, and based on the vibrancy, it was well worth the 15 days of work, long drives around massive bodies of water, and ferry trips, as shown in this shooting locations map.

Among other things, I talked about the experience of shooting the fall colors in Maine, especially how they stack up to Colorado’s legendary autumns.

For as long as I can remember, photographers always talk about Colorado as being ‘the place to be’ to photograph the Fall colors. But with this film, you prove Acadia is right up there with the best. How would you rank this in National Parks to see autumn in its finest?
That’s a great point. And Colorado is certainly in a league of it’s own, but New England has long been a place to see some of the world’s best fall displays. The abundance of trees that turn brilliant shades is what makes Acadia so special in the fall. There’s just so much to look at. The area around Jordan Pond is particularly dramatic with the shoreline exploding in color and reflecting perfectly off of the tranquil pond. Acadia would have to be in the top 5 national parks for fall color, and probably top 3.
With its far north locations, was the weather and the temperatures a challenge in the 15 days you were on location?
It’s very far north and can be quite cold at night, but for the most part during the day it’s quite pleasant with a jacket.
We noticed there is a large body of water separating the shooting locations. Did this require a ferry?
The park is actually all one land mass apart from a few small islands. But there are bodies of water all over the park and of course the ocean along it’s coast.
