Tips from the community
With over 87,000 acres of pristine natural beauty, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument is the perfect place for outdoor recreation, breathtaking mountain treks, diverse wildlife, and important historical and cultural significance. Hikers, fishers, hunters, cyclists, snowmobilers, campers, and skiers all enjoy this area.
Since becoming a national monument in 2016, the goal has been to protect and restore the natural resources, fish, and wildlife habitats. The area also has many culturally important resources to the Penobscot Nation.

Spot birds, mammals, fish, and other wildlife in a forest that is pumping out oxygen and cleaning our atmosphere of carbon. The protection of this area would benefit the environment and native animal populations here.
