The Katahdin Woods & Waters National Scenic Byway takes visitors through some of the most spectacular natural landscape that inland Maine has to offer. The byway is 89 miles long. Dominating that landscape is Katahdin, Maine’s tallest mountain at 5,268 feet and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The Byway begins at the southern entrance of Baxter State Park and winds its way through Millinocket along Route 11 and the Penobscot River to Patten, ending at Baxter’s northern entrance at Grand Lake Matagamon. The Katahdin region is unique and features Maine’s tallest mountain, its mightiest river and its greatest park.
