Overall this is pretty good and worth buying. The downsides are a.) that it is fairly old (but it still seems mainly reliable) b.) it really only contains information about hiking, biking, and kayaking / canoeing routes so if you want to know about restaurants, shopping, which tour guides to book the kayak trip with, etc. you won't find this helpful.

But like I said this is a fine option and since there doesn't really seem to be a better one it's worth purchasing prior to your acadia trip.
