"[ATers] represent three percent of our use and about twenty percent of our effort," retired Baxter Park Director Jensen Bissell.
so was this a late year for K trails to close? I seem to remember Oct 15th as "average"
the campgrounds shut down on the 15th, the mountain doesn't
Campgrounds have stayed open til the 22nd for several years now, and Katahdin trails usually close a few days afterward.
Even back when camping ended the 15th trails normally stayed open til near the end of the month, and that was one reason it was decided to keep some campgrounds open an extra week.
The first year Baxter had an extended season I had Katahdin Stream to myself for four days, and the 'bonus week' has had fairly empty campgrounds and trails ever since. Great time to be in the Park!
