Stowe Vt. to Acadia Maine

Need advice on Rv trip from Stowe vt to Acadia Driving 30 ft classB and toad is Honda fit. Plan to travel us2
  • US 2 is the best route. Although it is mostly 2 lane, it is by far the most scenic. Once you hit Newport, Maine, take Interstate 95 to the outskirts of Bangor. There you pick up Interstate 395 across the Penobscot and around Brewer. When 395 ends, follow Highway 1-a into Ellswworth and just go straight. You'll start seeing the hills of Acadia about 8 miles out of downtown Ellsworth. Enjoy Acadia. It's a great park.
  • Iwas looking for the info that dhayes gave me. Two lane is fine, as long as the the road will allow for my little coach. Are there any low bridges or super hard high hills to climb?
  • We went to Acadia a few weeks ago. I live just north of Stowe so I would go the same way as a person from Stowe.

    Take Rt2 to Newport, ME then I95 to Bangor. At Bangor take I395 to 1a, then pick up 3 near Elsworth. No low bridges or bad hills.

    Enjoy your trip.
  • One other option is to stay on Rt2 all the way to Bangor. It will dump you right onto I395. The section of Rt2 between Newport and Bangor has been resurfaced and is now in good shape. And in my opinion is a more relaxing drive.

    Have fun...
