Baxter State Park- New Winter Rules

Are you planning a multi-day winter trip to Baxter State Park? Bagging those 4,000-footers, a ski traverse, enjoying the silence. There are some new winter use rules that you should know about! Overall, the application process to get a permit is easier, there is no longer a minimum group size, the gear list is less rigid, and the weather coding system is now just a recommendation, not a requirement. If you are planning a day trip below tree-line, no special permissions are needed. Visit the Baxter State Park website or a news summary for more information. Enjoy Baxter in the winter!
