Snow and freezing rain have fallen at high elevations on unfrozen ground. These create conditions that are impactful to the alpine habitat and trails, and also may be hazardous for unprepared hikers.

Necessary maintenance will take place on the Trout Brook Crossing Bridge 10/21-10/24. This portion of the Tote Road will be impassable during that time. Those wishing to access the SFMA or Camp Phoenix should enter through the Togue Pond Gate in the south.

The Baxter State Park Headquarters in Millinocket will be closed on Wednesday, 10/16. The Reservations phone line will remain open..
