Paragraph 17 of the park regulations applies mostly to hikers. Park users must be reasonably prepared and equipped, and must take reasonable precautions against endangering themselves or others. Hikers must wear appropriate footwear and clothing, and must carry a working flashlight. No children under the age of 6 years are allowed above timberline. Regulations include parking.
Parking is by permit only, on a first-come basis.
Plan a very early start to assure parking at the trail you want. The Togue Pond gatehouse opens at 5 a.m. July through September. A total of eight parking spots can be reserved for Maine-registered vehicles. Call the park office at 723-5140. Signs marking the popular Helon Taylor Trail near Roaring Brook in Baxter Park.
