Baxter State Park will reopen to vehicle traffic on Wednesday. While the Togue Pond and Matagamon gatehouses open to vehicles, there will be limited access to some sections of road, according to Baxter State Park. Staff continue to clear and repair the roads. Roaring Brook Road sustained “significant damage” during the winter, Baxter State Park said earlier this month. That has delayed its reopening. As a result, reservations at Roaring Brook Campground for May 15-23 have been canceled, and there will be no access for vehicles to the campground and to trailheads to Katahdin Lake, Russell Pond and the east side of Katahdin. You can check the daily conditions report to see what sections of road remain off limits to vehicles on Baxter State Park’s website.
