Hunt and Abol are now open. String fencing on the Tableland is again in place:

Although it takes regular annual effort to maintain it, the positive effects of the fencing are already apparent in the comparison of before (2002) and after (2011) photos we took of various points on the fenced trail. Vegetation is returning to eroded and braided sections of the trail in the area, which is great news considering the Hunt Trail in this area travels along and through some of the rarest natural community habitat in the State of Maine. When you are hiking toward Baxter Peak in this area, help out the Park and the generations of hikers who will hike this trail in the future and stay "inside the string" and on the trail.
