Need info on accessing AT in Maine

[Anghiker]

I'm hoping someone out there knows Maine's AT well.
I am looking for information on the Bald Mtn Road. Looks like we can access by taking the Boise-Cascade road out of Caratunk to Lake Moxie and take theShirley Tote Road out of Lake Moxie, taking a right onto Maheux Road and then onto Bald Mtn Rd that crosses the AT. This access point would be just north of the Moxie Bald Lean-to.
Our hope is to hike S. on AT back to Moxie Pond Road.
There isn't any info in the AT book for Maine on this. I also have "Exploring the AT" and that may mention that you cross a dirt road but no info on it and even the " Thru Hikers companion" book doesn't mention it, so I'm wondering if that is not a good access point.
Other than the 3 books I mentioned does anyone no of other books that may help us. We really don't want to backpack this!
Any help on this would be very appreciated.

I don't know about any books/maps that would have the information but I use to live in The Forks, ME for a short time - taking AT hikers across the Kennebec River. To answer your question, yes there is a fairly traveled road just passed Moxie Bald Lean-to. From Caratunk head towards The Forks. It's been a few years but there is a dirt road close to the general store about 6 miles up. There was also a wooden sign on the right hand side for Moxie Pond. Take it. It a dirt road but does have some house along the lake. The AT is about a mile after you cross a wooden bridge.

It's about 20 minute drive from Caratunk.

Hope this helps.

The Delorme Gazeteer road atlas is what you need. It show both public and private roads and also shows blocked roads

Yes, I do have that Gazeteer and I have the most recent ones but sometimes I don't think that they have been updated to much or just reprinted them. Thx for your input!
