What to pack

What May feels like

Cherry and apple blossom runs through the orchards midmonth and the whole peninsula smells like it. Everything is open by Memorial Day weekend, which is also the moment traffic on 42 changes character for the season.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 57° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
