Baxter State Park trail and road closures

MAINE ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS • October 19, 2022

Effective 10/20/2022, all Katahdin and Traveler Loop Trails will be closed at the trailhead for the season. Many of the trails within the park have sustained major damage during the recent storms, and continued recreation on our alpine peaks poses a significant threat to the fragile environment as hikers navigate flooded and frozen sections of trail. Additionally, the Roaring Brook road will be closed and gated at the wildlife sanctuary boundary over Beaver Brook. Other Park trails remain open, but hikers should expect many blowdowns and wet conditions.
