RUSSELL POND &
BAXTER PARK INTERIOR BACKPACKING 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.
Perhaps the most outstanding body of water in
or around Baxter State Park is Wassataquoik Lake. It's crystal clear
water, gravel beaches and surrounding tall peaks have no peer in Baxter
Park. A day trip to Wassataquoik Lake is a must on our trip.
The hike into Russell Pond is approximately
7 miles, where we'll stay all 3 nights in a rustic leanto shelter on our 3 night/4 day trip to the interior
of Baxter State park.
