BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) - Acadia National Park is closing its carriage roads as winter gives way to “mud season.”
The 45-mile network of gravel roads closed starting Friday to avoid damage from horses, bicycles and hikers during the spring thaw.
“We’re asking all visitors to help protect the historic carriage road system and prevent costly repairs by cooperating with this temporary closure,” Superintendent Kevin Schneider said.
The road network will reopen later this year once the roads dry out and become firm.
