Sieur de Monts Spring
The spring where the park began.
Dorr bought this spring and built the small domed spring house, calling it the Sweet Waters of Acadia. The national monument proclaimed in 1916 took its name from here. One letter cited by the Abandoned Trails blog suggests the spring was substantially engineered; treat that as interpretation.
