The One Place In Maine That Offers The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure
The entire state of Maine is pretty much jaw-dropping outdoor recreation areas, but the crown jewel of our state park system is particularly enchanting. If you’re looking for the ultimate outdoor adventure, head to Baxter State Park.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Baxter State Park encompasses 209,501 acres around Mount Katahdin. It's a magnificent spot for all kinds of outdoor recreation.
Camp at one of the sites here for an overnight adventure. The sites are open in summer and winter, but they're primitive. You won't find running water or electricity anywhere in the park.
