Katahdin: A Guide to Baxter State Park & Katahdin

by Stephen Clark

Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, is the centerpiece of a wilderness park of thousands of acres, 185 miles of trails, remote ponds that belie roaring streams above, and all the natural magic one can handle. This guidebook provides trail and campground descriptions, essays on the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the park, and an updated detached topographical map.

As impressive and useful as the internet, global positioning systems, apps, and ignorance can be, and at times appropriate, the comprehensive, detailed, and personal wisdom that can be gleaned from a guidebook are unrivaled and which are no-better exemplified than between the covers of this book. To read it and about the history, geology, flora, fauna, stewardship, commercial pillaging, stewardship reborn, and intimate catalogue of trails and their navigation make for an experience that is completely different and completely enhanced as compared to enjoying the park without this book. I rest my case.
