Did you notice that the gate shutting the Thompson Island Picnic Area has been removed during the day, and the Picnic Area is finally open!

As I drove down to Mount Desert Island on Tuesday, September 15th I saw that the gate was open! I had to drive in, and there were quite a few cars there, and people enjoying the day and the picnic area, including a few seagulls!

The bathrooms are closed, but Acadia National Park has brought in 2 large porta-potties for the public's use
