Accessibility for the Disabled

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, we have begun the process of making a wide range of roadside Park locations more accessible. Recognizing that much of the Park is managed strictly as wilderness, we are striving to provide a representative range of accessible roadside facilities. It is our intent that a person using these areas will have an opportunity to enjoy the beauty that inspired Percival Baxter to create this Park. We hope you will make use of the facilities provided and patiently bear with us as we work at our roadside areas over the next few years to provide you with suitable facilities.

Accessible Sites

In Millinocket, our Headquarters Building with Reservations office at 64 Balsam Drive has accessible parking, a path to the building and accessible bathrooms. Note: Temporarily, the wheel chair entrance to this building requires you to ring the bell for assistance over the lip at the doorway.

There is a model of Katahdin at this location which is positioned for viewing from wheelchair height.
