The lakes, ponds, streams, and ephemeral vernal pools of Acadia National Park are rich in amphibian life. Eleven amphibian species, including frogs, salamanders, and one toad, have been identified on park lands and three other species have been historically reported in the park.
You don't have to spend much time in Acadia before being alerted to the presence of amphibians by the distinctive chorus of the spring peeper or the gutteral croak of the bullfrog. Salamanders find clever hiding spots in wooded areas, wetlands, and streams, but can be seen by the astute observer!

Did You Know?
Acadia National Park contains more than 120 miles of historic hiking trails. Many of these trails were established by local village improvement societies in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today many of the historic features, such as stonework, are still visible.
