What October feels like
Acadia's color usually peaks mid-month, and the low blueberry barrens go a red you'll not see anywhere else. It's also among the wettest stretches of the year, and the town starts closing after Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend, so call ahead for anything you're counting on.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 55° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
