Trails reopened after fire

Posted on May 30, 2020 by Baxter State Park

After the recent forest fire in the park, the Appalachian Trail as well as Foss and Knowlton, Blueberry Ledges, Abol Pond and Abol Stream trails have been reopened. Use caution while hiking these trails in the burned area as trees have been weakened by the fire and falling trees and branches remain a hazard.
