Acadia's Mainely Ours - Outdoor Fun Rentals
Offers STRONG Suggestions for water craft safety:
Helpful Hint -
Maine is not like many of the other coastal states. Our tide is 9-13 ft. through the course of a month. Full moon is the deepest tide each month.
This ebs and flows
2 x's ea. day - low
2 xs ea. day - high
Some shorelines are several 100 ft. of mud flats as far as 2 hours before low tide time as noted on charts up towards 1.5 hr.'s after low tide time on the charts. For some shorelines this would mean dragging boats in mud for quite a distance.
Please time your ventures accordingly.
Note: Tide times fluctuate by approximately 50 minutes per day, thus if it was at 2 am and 2:20 pm today, tomorrow it will be about 2:50am and 3:10pm tomorrow and so forth...DO NOT ASSUME - check the Tidal Charts.
Inland Fresh waterways are not usually subject to the ocean tide charts.
