North Maine Woods Campsites

[wigsajumper]

Thought I would share the attached GPX File. It is a collection of waypoints to campsites in the North Maine Woods. I found the Google Maps KML file a few weeks ago when researching heading up there this summer. I cleaned up the Waypoint's text a little (at least in Gaia GPS they look better) Each Waypoint has a brief description of the campsite. Check points are also included.

I have not verified the location of the campsites with the waypoints nor the information included in.

Thanks for sharing @wigsajumper! I’ve been meaning to get back up there for years. Look forward to hearing about your trip.

Amazing, I was debating whether or not to create this in Gaia for my trip up there in a month—you've saved me a ton of work!

Never been to Main, but I just may have to make the trip.

Even going to places in Maine that are ON the beaten path, it is nice: Portland, Mt. Desert Island/ Bar Harbor/ Cadillac Mountain, L. L. Bean.

Then you get a little off the beaten path kayaking and camping along the Saco River or going along the Appalachian Trail.

I'll be interested in opening this file and seeing what's available by 4x4 for sure

Some good came from the CoVid then. I worked on this about 98% at work when I was scanning maybe 2-3 patients a day in a 12 hour shift. I wish I could find who originally did most of the work so I could credit him/her

We just got back from a trip up to Lubec and Cobscook State Park. Great area up there if you get a chance. About two more hours driving east of Acadia/Bar Harbor. Cobscook Bay State Park has camping right on the Bay. It isn't overlandering but my wife was happy.

Noticed about 6ish individuals are accessing the shared folder with the camp locations. I updated a few that we visited this week with images and updated stats. If anyone makes it up there please message me with any updated info on the campsite or images you stayed at.

I put this file into arcgis pro and some of the sites appear off. I'm making an interactive webmap and i can share it with everyone here when its done but i'm wondering if anyone has any updated information on this gpx file?

I haven't updated the file since posted. It was just a conversion of the KML you can get from the North Maine Woods website. Converted and cleaned up. For the most up to date info I would check out the North Maine Woods website. You should be able to see any updates from their KML file.

I am still so thankful for this f'ing GPX file...thanks man! it is beyond a game changer for going to
the Maine North Woods. I have been confirming/cataloging the MNW campsites for a few
seasons now using this file and OnX. I am now up to 25 geo-tagged campsites with photos inside of OnX.
