About Katahdin

Katahdin is Maine's highest peak at 5,267 feet and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The mountain is known for its dramatic Knife Edge ridge, one of the most thrilling hikes in the eastern United States. The summit offers breathtaking views of the Maine wilderness and countless lakes stretching to the horizon.

History

Katahdin, meaning 'The Greatest Mountain' in Penobscot, has been sacred to the Penobscot people for thousands of years. The first recorded European ascent was in 1804. Henry David Thoreau famously climbed partway up in 1846 and wrote about the experience. The mountain is located in Baxter State Park, donated to the state by former Governor Percival Baxter.
