Percival Proctor Baxter’s (Maine governor from 1921-1924) fondness for the land and Maine’s wilderness led him to purchase almost 6,000 acres of land, including Katahdin, Maine’s highest peak. He donated the parcel to the state of Maine in 1931, with the condition that it be kept forever wild. Thus, roads in the park are unpaved and water must be treated within the park, including car camping areas i.e., no running water or potable water.
Nearby Katahdin Woods and Waters was designated as a national monument under the Obama administration.
