Welcome to Millinocket!
This alluring little town in North Maine is the gateway to Baxter State Park and one of Penobscot County's most popular destinations. Watched over by Mount Katahdin—the province's highest peak—and surrounded by the Maine North Woods, Millinocket offers a naturally beautiful setting and myriad recreational opportunities for outdoor lovers. Summer inspires kayaking, boating, rafting, fishing, hiking, climbing and camping, while winter welcomes eager snowshoers, cross-country skiers and snowmobilers. In fact, snowmobiling has long been popular in the Millinocket area and this is evident at the Northern Timber Cruisers Antique Snowmobile Museum. The town's history goes beyond snowmobiling, however, and visitors can discover the depth of its past at the Millinocket Historical Society and Museum. Incorporated in 1901, the town of Millinocket was created to service the pulp and paper mill, which was built on the Penobscot River at Millinocket Stream in 1899 and still stands there today. A stroll along historic Penobscot and Katahdin avenues reveals numerous 20th-century buildings housing various businesses and visitors will find plenty of modern shops and services along bustling Central Street.Tourist Attractions
