Death in Acadia

Death in Acadia: And Other Misadventures in Maine’s National Park (Dear Earthling) by Randi Minetor

Acadia National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States. It is an adventure seeker’s paradise. Hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, and back-country skiing are among the activities pursued there; as well as the less extreme sight seeing along the Park Road and Atlantic coast. Death in Acadia gathers the stories of fatalities that have occurred in the park, from falls to exposure to drowning–even getting swept out to sea–and presents dozens of misadventures.
