We do not support defacement of any sort in the National Parks, including Acadia National Park, there simply is no place for it, period. The types of vandalism I have been reading about online has to stop, there is no justifiable excuse anyone can make for carrying on such behavior and clearly the full weight of the law needs to be applied when the subject is caught. The person randomly spray painting both abandoned trails as well as official trails needs to be brought to justice and I strongly encourage anyone witnessing such behavior to immediately report it to the National Park Service at (207) 288-3338 or by waiving down a Park Ranger; be the eyes and ears of the Park Service that helps bring this illegal activity to an end.
I would also encourage you to report any illegal activity involving illegal camping within the park, a few years ago i came upon an illegal tent site on Sunset Hill, took down the GPS of the location and reported it, and years earlier I located an illegal tent site along the Park Loop road and reported it as well. While at first it may not seem that big of a deal, illegal camp sites can lead to littering as well as fires caused by careless handling of a illegal camp fire; any illegal activity should be reported in a timely fashion.
