What April feels like
Acadia's carriage roads stay closed through mud season so they aren't torn up by boots and hooves — the park posts the reopening date, and it's usually later than visitors assume. A few hotels and restaurants open for the last week; most wait for May.
Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 13 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 42° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
