The following is for REservations in Baxter State Park. As in the past,
Northbounders can register when they arrive, depending on space available.
Southbounders must register in advance.

The new policy seeks to avoid people camping out on New Years in Millinocket
to get the spots they want in the perennially crowded "wilderness."

No. Don't ask me questions. Contact the park. I was just looking for some
flower photos for a newsletter and ran across them and thought them
interesting, since all the dates my wife had free this year were filled when
I tried to make reservations.
