The Annual Winter Lottery Approaches

This year, the annual winter lottery for those who wish to camp in the Park or hike above treeline this winter will be on Monday, 11/03. The Reservations phone lines will not be accepting calls and Park Headquarters will be closed for non-lottery related business while the lottery is occurring.

NOTICE OF TRAIL CLOSURE

As of Friday, October 17th, all Katahdin and Traveler Loop trails are closed for the season. Snow is falling at high elevations in Baxter Park, with expected fluctuations between freezing and thawing temperatures in the coming days. This weather creates conditions that increase hiking’s impact on alpine habitats and trails.
