SaveBaxter State Park is the crowning jewel of Maine parks. Do yourself a favor and read the impression histroy. Home to Katahdin, Maine's highest peak and the end of the Appalchain Trail, the park has around 200 miles of hiking trail. Most visitors try for the summit, which offers traditional challening New England hiking, and if the weather is good, fantastic views.
Baxter State Park now allows riding on the Dwelly Pond loop and SFMA forest in addition to on the Tote Road. During the winter riding is allowed on the Tote Road, and the Abol Pond trail, which can make the approach to Roaring Brook much faster.
