The Park Loop Road at Acadia National Park will reopen to the traffic on Monday.

Scientists’ predictions of more frequent extreme weather events as a result of climate change were a reality for the park this winter and spring, a news release from Acadia said. "Sections of the park endured storm damage throughout multiple extreme storms," it added. "However, the majority of the seasonal opening schedule will not be affected."

On Monday the Park Loop Road will open to motor vehicles and Carriage Roads will reopen to pedestrians. The Hulls Cove Visitor Center opens to visitors on May 3. Campgrounds and other park facilities will open on various dates throughout April and May. Visit the park website to learn more about operating hours and seasons.  

Due to icy conditions, Cadillac Summit Road will remain closed to motor vehicles. The park expects the road to open as soon as weather conditions allow. Cadillac Summit Road will also be closed for an additional 3-7 days before May 22 to complete repaving.   

Bridge restoration work at the Otter Cove Causeway will begin soon, temporarily reducing traffic flow from two lanes to one. A detour will be in effect through Memorial Day weekend near Wildwood Stables to accommodate carriage road bridge restoration.

Park staff say the 2024 summer season is expected to be busy, so you should plan ahead and recreate responsibly while you’re here. Prepare for your trip to Acadia National Park by following our list of the top five tips.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
