3 NIGHT CHIMNEY POND BACKPACKING TRIP

​

The ultimate Baxter Park trip, which includes a summit climb of Katahdin!  This is a 3 night backpacking trip to one of the most striking viewpoints Maine.  A trip that offers the hiker many opportunities for exploration and challenge.  Toughest reservations to get in the state!  

 3 or 4 NIGHT RUSSELL POND/WASSATAQUOIK LAKE BACKPACKING TRIP

​

Three nights in Baxter Park's most remote campground, a 7.6 mile hike into the interior of the park.  A fantastic area for viewing moose & fly fishing for brook trout!

4 NIGHT FREEZEOUT TRAIL BACKPACKING TRIP

​

An easy to moderate loop trial hike along several bodies of water in the most northern end of Baxter Park.  A good portion of the trail follows old logging tote roads.  It would be difficult to find more solitude anywhere else in Baxter park.

3 NIGHT FAMILY CAMPING TRIP TO SOUTH BRANCH POND

​

A wonderful setting at South Branch Pond, in the northern park of Baxter Park.  Plenty of time for canoeing, day hiking, fishing, relaxing!
