Baxter State Park, Maine
Roaring Brook->Russell Pond->Wassataquoik Island- Out & Back
Wassataquoik Stream
Columbus Weekend is the last weekend Baxter stays open before closing the gates for park rejuvenation. This all happens to typically fall on the peak for fall foliage, a sure beautiful place to visit.
BSP is just WNW of Millinocket
A friend has visited this park every Columbus weekend for the last 15 years, and I was fortunate enough to come along! We stayed away from Mt. Katahdin, and opted to visit the most remote area of the park, which was incredible! This is one of the most tranquil and relaxing backpacking trips I have been on in a very long time.
A librarian, a bartender, and a surgeon go off into the woods...
