Millinocket is the gateway to Maine’s wildest places — Baxter State Park, Mount Katahdin, and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Once a thriving paper mill town, Millinocket has reinvented itself as an outdoor adventure destination, drawing hikers, paddlers, snowmobilers, and hunters from across the country. The town sits amid a landscape of lakes, rivers, and forest that stretches virtually unbroken to the Canadian border. If you’re completing the AT or heading into the 100-Mile Wilderness, Millinocket is your last stop for supplies and your first taste of civilization on the way out.
