The magnificent Baxter State Park offers
scenery unequaled in Maine and where one can enjoy unlimited possibilities
for day and overnight camping, hiking, backpacking & canoeing.
Guided trips from campsites within Baxter
Park to Chimney Pond and to the peak of Maine's "Greatest Mountain", Katahdin, or

CHIMNEY POND & KATAHDIN TRIPS
By far the most spectacular campground in
Baxter State Park and, perhaps, east of the Rockies, is Chimney Pond.
This is a shallow, glacially-formed pond surrounded by the two thousand foot
wall and awe-inspiring granite cliffs of the Great Basin.
An unforgettable trip!

RUSSELL POND &
BAXTER PARK INTERIOR TRIPS
Russell Pond is a remote pond in the center
of Baxter State Park miles from cars, roads, and the crowds of people that
congregate in the campgrounds at the base of Katahdin.
It is an area about as wild as the park has
to offer and has many streams, ponds and lakes nearby. Moose are
frequently seen in Russell Pond and the surrounding ponds. Many
interesting features of the park's lumbering history are nearby:
Wassataquoik Stream, Inscription Rock, Grand Falls, and others. From
Russell Pond, trails radiate outward in all directions to even more remote
sections of the park.
