Live Webcams in Millinocket, Maine

Millinocket, Maine, is the old paper-mill town at the gateway to Baxter State Park, and the live webcams around Millinocket give you the mountain that ends the Appalachian Trail: Katahdin, seen across the lake to the north of town, by day in its granite and by night under one of the darkest skies in the eastern United States. Lake shores facing the peak are the vantage points, where the summit catches the first light and the stars come out over the water after dusk. The region keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, so the night sky here is a European early morning; new-moon nights are the ones for the Milky Way, and the aurora shows on the big nights. Katahdin stands 1,606 metres, Maine's highest point, and its trails close for the season in October.
