Reviews of Baxter State Park
"I will never understand why baxter park is barely known compared to the Acadia national park... maybe because it's so remote?.. Anyway, it is a good thing, that it's still a secret for most. As a whole, Maine is my happy place as a whole, but the baxter state park is it's soul. From Blueberry ledges, big and small Niagara falls to campgrounds of daicey pond and kidney pond, countless trails and mountain peaks, canoes at every lake and pond, and finally to the peak of mt Katahdin, this place is absolute heaven for anyone who appreciates nature."
"This place was amazing. Took the whole loop by car and the section that is all gravel should really only be ~20mph. Had a bear walk out in front of us and the views are breathtaking. Worth the trip for sure!"
"The wildness of the forest is magnificent! Patches of the dense evergreen and birch forest are completely carpeted with moss. The rangers are helpful and attentive. They are friendly ambassadors while also regulation enforcers. We were excited to get a parking space at Roaring Brook Day Use area for our hike to the peak of Katahdin. The Chimney Pond-Saddle Trail (rated the least strenuous ascent) was brutal. Actually, the descent was worse in the torrential thunderstorm. But the view from the peak was magnificent! Pit toilets at Roaring Brook Campground and Chimney Pond were clean, well equipped, and well maintained. There is no potable water but lots of running streams. Just remember to filter or boil before drinking. The people who work there do their best to keep the park a remote natural preserve. Thank you, Baxter Park Service!"
"I loved Baxter State Park! The drive is gorgeous, take your time and drive safe, the road is narrow and passing oncoming traffic can be challenging at some spots. I didn't have enough time to spend here, the park is large and every trail we walked was worth it's time. $16 per car for cars with out of state plates."
"Absolutely Beautiful, worth the drive . It is Remote and mostly no cell coverage, but would love to come back Here again. We hiked to Sandy Stream Pond and were lucky enough to see a moose enjoying the water. To my knowledge there are no pets allowed so keep that in mind when planning your trip"
