What to pack

What April feels like

Doors start reopening around the middle of the month, though hours stay unpredictable right up until Memorial Day. The wind off the water still has winter in it and so does the water itself, so treat April as a hiking and lighthouse month rather than a beach one.

Winter is doing its thing: 4.0 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 15 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 43° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
