The National Weather Service is forecasting a heat wave this week, starting Tuesday. Please adjust you plans in the Park accordingly, as strenuous hiking in these conditions can be dangerous.

Check our daily conditions report for up-to-date information.

Roaring Brook Road suffered significant damage over the winter, and will be delayed in opening this spring. The first week of camping reservations, May 15 to May 23, have been cancelled, and there will be no vehicular access to the campground and to most trailheads along the road during this time. We are working to repair the road as soon as possible, and will provide status updates to Roaring Brook campground reservation holders and to the general public.

The Park’s headquarters building in Millinocket, including the reservations office, will be closed to the public from April 29 to May 10th for training events. Reservations may still be made online and by phone during these two weeks.

Due to an issue with our reservation system cloud-based hosting service, we experienced an outage with visitor reservations on 4/22/2024. All services have been restored. We apologize for the inconvenience. BSP utilizes our website news page and Facebook to  alert visitors of outages and to provide updates.
