Acadia National Park is America’s Favorite Place

BAR HARBOR, Maine - Acadia National Park has been named “America’s Favorite Place” by ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) based on a nationwide poll of viewers. GMA asked viewers to nominate their favorite place in America in an online poll earlier this month, and the five finalists were Acadia National Park, Chicago’s Lakefront, Glacier National Park, Gulf Shores, and Lake Tahoe.

GMA made the announcement on July 24th, during a live broadcast in Acadia National Park along the shore of Jordan Pond. GMA host, Robin Roberts, said, “The competition was fierce. Each of GMA’s favorite places finalists received tons and tons of votes, but, in the end, one stood out from the rest: Acadia National Park, the crown jewel of Maine.” More than 60 people were on hand to cheer on the park as their favorite place in America.
