Beautiful scenic park. We drove the road around the park as I had fractured my ankle earlier on the trip. The road was as close as you can get to hiking when driving through the woods. Very narrow bu… Full review by GalvGran

Q:
We are looking for a midpoint place to stay /visit between Quebec City and Bangor ME- mid June. Greenville / Moosehead Lake pops up. We'd only be there one day/night. Thoughts? Is the Blair Hill Inn worthy of the rates it asks for a room? Note- I grew up in NE Maine so am familiar with the beauty and hardiness/rustic quality of the area, but my husband is not. The boat ride to see Mt.Kahtadin sounds nice but we wouldn't want to be doing a lot of heavy hiking etc.
A:
Sorry but we are not familiar with the Blair House Inn

Is there a fly fishing guide service in the area? Would love to surprise my husband. We will be visiting the last week in July. Thanks for any direction you can give!
A:
Sorry I do not know. I am not a fisherman but you could probably google fly fishing in Baxter State Park and find out.

Q:
Would I be safe there walking alone?

Absolutely. As a woman I've camped there several times alone and summited the top alone. I enjoy hiking alone as I can go at my own speed and stop and enjoy nature at my leisure. …
A:
Absolutely. As a woman I've camped there several times alone and summited the top alone. I enjoy hiking alone as I can go at my own speed and stop and enjoy nature at my leisure. Plan ahead and order a map from the website to see the trails. I like Roaring Brook but so does most others so it books up fast. The bunk shared house could be an option if you want to overnight in the park but not need a tent. Plan ahead as you'll need to book a parking spot for day hiking in the park if you don't have a camp site booked. If you don't want to hike up Katahdin there are lots of beautiful lakes and streams in the park and a lot have canoes for rent. If nature and solidarity are your hopes then go and enjoy. Again look on Kahtadins website as there's rules people sometimes overlook and get turned away like no dogs and vehicles size limits. Another tip if money's not super tight is to book a night or two at the Katahdin lake wilderness camps. You book through the wilderness camps and park in Baxter going towards Roaring Brook, Avalanche parking area, and hike about 3 miles into Katahdin Lake Wilderness Camps (or you can charter a float plane). You won't be able to hike Katahdin from there but the views of the mountain from the lake are breathtaking. The food is delicious so if you can afford it get the full plan. Beds are made so you don't have to carry in sleeping bags or tents making your hiking easier.
