Trout Brook Farm Campground Road

Trout Brook Farm Campground Road is a short, flat out-and-back route in Baxter State Park in Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. The road is about 0.38 miles long, with a high point of 663 feet and a low of 658 feet, so the climb is nearly flat, with a total gain and loss of about 19 feet each. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.13 miles in, with a grade of about 4 percent. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Patten show January highs around 22°F and lows near 3°F, while July highs reach about 76°F. That station sits about 19.5 miles away and roughly 157 feet lower than the road, so temperatures on the road run a little cooler. The road sits right beside two hiking trails, the Five Ponds Trail and the Trout Brook Mountain Trail, each about 0.1 mile away. For more skiing, Grand Lake Road is about 1.4 miles off, and Park Tote Road is about 1.6 miles away.
