This event has been cancelled due to the weather.

Join us for Friends of Baxter State Park’s 14th Warm Winter Weekend on March 14 - 17, 2024, at Ktaadn Resorts (aka New England Outdoor Center) on Millinocket Lake. One of our most popular member activities, you will meet other Park enthusiasts, explore the surrounding trails, and exchange stories over shared meals and explorations. 

The price is $343.35/person for the weekend, including lodging, use of the groomed trails, and taxes.  We have reserved enough room for thirty people to sign up.

As has been our custom, lunch and breakfast will be on our own in the fully equipped lodges or on the trail.  Evening meals will be shared.  A sign-up will be sent to solidify who contributes what to those evening meals.  Given that this will be St. Patrick’s Day weekend, I expect that there will be many Irish possibilities.  Saturday’s evening meal will be off the menu at the Riverdrivers Restaurant.  Evening activities for Thursday and Friday nights are also being planned. 

While many activities will be centered at NEOC, most also explore the surrounding areas, including Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, the Penobscot River Trails, and the Nature Conservancy Lands.  The cross-country ski and snowshoe trails are groomed at NEOC and the Penobscot River Trails.  We always look forward to snow, but be prepared for early spring hiking as well.

For reservations, please call Ktaadn Resorts (NEOC) at 1-800-766-7238 or 207-723-5438.  Identify yourself as part of the Friends of Baxter State Park group under Richard Klain.  They will take your reservation and credit card information.  For those of you who want to bring a dog for the weekend, NEOC has a new pet policy requiring a $200 security deposit and a charge of $40 per pet per night.

We look forward to seeing you!
