What April feels like
April is the awkward month: the lakeside trails are wet and rutted while the resorts are still spinning. Rates drop off after spring break, and the shoreline takes on the empty, in-between feeling locals genuinely like.
Expect about 8 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
