Snow continues to be sparse in the Park and include a mix of ice, hard crust snow and bare ground.We are hoping for some snow accumulation in the coming storm. Forecasts are for only a few inches, but every inch will help at this point. Chimney Pond has varying depths of snow, mostly less than 12 inches. Larger streams may be still be open. Most Ponds have ice but caution is advised. The Park is closed to automobile traffic due to hazardous road conditions with patchy snow and ice on Park roads. Foot access to most sections of the Park will be hiking with some skiing available on higher terrain, but conditions are very changeable due to low snow levels. For the most current trail conditions and access status, campers are advised to call our hiker information line at 207-723- 4636 or Park Headquarters at 207-723-5140
