Park Roads and
Trails Starting to Open

All Park roads are now open except for the section between the junction to Phoenix Camps and Trout Brook Crossing.

The Traveler Loop Trail out of South Branch Pond Campground is now open. All Katahdin-access trailheads remain closed to hiking due to soft trail conditions and snow and ice at elevation. All other Park trails are open. Rangers are continuing to check Katahdin-access trails for conditions above treeline and on the Tableland. We will open these trails as soon as conditions permit.
