Cadillac Mountain is the highest coastal point on the East Coast of the United States, at 1,532 feet. ^* It is located near Bar Harbor, Maine, within Acadia National Park. The mountain was formerly named Green Mountain The mountain was renamed in 1918 to its present day name.

There are various hiking trails to the summit, some more challenging than others. There is also a paved road to the top.

Cadillac may be the first United States location to see the sun rise each day. This is disputed by some who believe the sun first shines in Lubec, Maine, the easternmost town in the United States. However, thousands still ascend by car to the mountain's summit to see what they believe is the nation's first sunrise.

On a clear day, it is possible to see Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest mountain to the north and the Canadian province of Nova Scotia to the southeast, both over 100 miles away.
