Qué debes empacar
Winter boots, ice grippers, snow shoes?, cross country skiis
If you come to hike in the winter, you will of course want to bring warm winter boots, but you may also need ice grippers for trails that have become icy. Some of these trails become nearly impassable without them, but with them, you can keep going! Some people might like to use poles. Also, depending on the weather, you may want snowshoes or ice skates!
And the carriage trail is sometimes groomed for cross country skiing if the conditions are right!
Qué debes empacar
Layers!
It's always a good idea to have lots of layers--the weather changes here quite a bit and you never know what you might need. This is true at the top of Cadillac no matter what time of year, especially if you go up early morning or later in the day.

Acadia National Park Info Spring—usually in April!
Carriage Roads Closed for “Mud Season”
A 45-mile network of historic carriage roads across Acadia are closed until further notice for "Mud Season."
Warmer weather and wet conditions soften the carriage roads and make them susceptible to damage. Walking, bicycling and riding horses in such conditions can cause ruts and potholes that channel water and exacerbate erosion. The NPS will reopen the carriage roads once the gravel surface dries out and becomes firm enough to prevent damage.
