Baxter State Park in Maine

Baxter State Park in Maine is now partially open for hikers and campers. There is still some snow on some of the trails (as of May 26th) but they will soon open as well. The state park officials anticipate another good season with plenty of hikers and campers. A recent news article explains how the park is self-funding so the state of the economy is of concern to park officials. Read more on this topic in "Baxter State Park weathers tough economy", Bangor Daily News, May 26, 2009.

It is important to make reservations for the campgrounds as they fill up quickly. Reservations can be made at the link below:
