Katahdin Area Welcome to what can truly be called a land of adventure. Whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boating, foliage viewing, hiking, snowmobiling, moose watching tours; it's all here! Four seasons of outdoor activity and enjoyment are yours for the taking in the Katahdin area. Baxter State Park and the surrounding communities of Millinocket, Medway, East Millinocket, Patten, Sherman and Brownville invite you to experience this breathtaking region of Maine. At the heart of the Katahdin area lies Baxter State Park, a wilderness area of 202,064 acres. A gift to the State of Maine by former Gov. Percival P. Baxter, the park has grown to be one of the premier "forever wild" destinations in Maine. The park is home to Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest peak and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Every year, hikers from all over the world conclude their epic treks on the dramatic summit.
