Good location as I was supporting an AT hiker through the 100 mile wilderness. Close to Baxter state park and the Katahdin Iron Works area that provided access to the wilderness. There was a fee to access the wilderness from KI-Jo-Mary area but it they had their own great trails. Arrived a little early and the owner tried to get me to pay a fee which I declined. 12:30 arrival isn't too early in my opinion. Lots of ATV riders occupying sites so I'm sure lots of riding trails nearby.
