Baxter State Park & Katahdin

Home to the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail and Maine’s tallest mountain, Katahdin, this 209,644 acre park is the definition of true wilderness. With no paved roads, electricity, or standard campground facilities you will experience nature the way it was meant to be.
