The Medway Trail

Description: This route is often referred to as the Katahdin Trail. It begins at the point where Route 11/157 crosses the interstate (I-95) at exit 244 (Medway/Millinocket) in Medway and extends northwesterly through Medway, East Millinocket, and Millinocket. The trail then leaves Route 11/157 at its intersection with the Baxter State Park Road in downtown Millinocket. It continues along the Baxter State Park Road northwesterly through the unorganized territories of Indian Purchase, T1 R8, T1 R9, and T2 R9 before reaching the southern entrance of Baxter State Park.

Special Notes of Interest:

Biking: The Medway Trail between Interstate 95 and the Baxter State Park Road in Millinocket, although a high traffic volume road, is suitable for bicycling as the roadway is asphalt and has wide eight foot shoulders. Shoulders are much less abundant once the Trail becomes the Baxter State Park Road; however, there is also less vehicular traffic. Travelers should be advised that the road is closed above Spencer Cove to all vehicles except snowmobiles. The remainder of the trail south of Spencer Cove is maintained throughout the year. Please use caution when biking on roadways!!
