The historic carriage roads in Acadia National Park are closed to all users as of March 19 until further notice, the NPS said. The roads, muddy and soft, are closed each year during the spring thaw to protect them from damage. They usually open in about 5 weeks to foot traffic and then to bikes and horses about 10 days later. Read all about it. https://t.co/2YxTGTAxnW
