Seasonal Closures
A number of facilities in the park, such as the visitor center, most of the Park Loop Road (including the road up Cadillac Mountain), and some restrooms, close on a seasonal basis. The visitor center and Park Loop Road are scheduled to reopen on April 15 each year, if conditions allow (too much ice will delay opening of the road). Read more about Seasonal Closures and Road Closures.

Wildlife Closures
The park closes certain areas each year to protect nesting wildlife. Current closures include:
- Peregrine Nesting Cliffs - All peregrine closures are in place. These closures include the Precipice Trail, East Face Trail, northern portion of the Flying Mountain Trail, and Jordan Cliffs Trail.
- A number of islands are currently closed to the public to protect nesting eagles and seabirds.

Road Closures
The park's unpaved roads (fire roads, for example) are scheduled to open on May 15. However, the opening of Long Pond Fire Road and the Western Mountain roads will be delayed until surface repairs can be completed. We hope to make these roads available by the first of June.
