UPDATE June 30, 2023: At this time, the Parking portion of our project is complete! Restroom construction will continue through July 2023. Thank you for your patience and support!
The Mount Agamenticus Parking and Public Restroom project, approved by voters in 2020 has begun as of September 2022 and will continue through June 2023. Road, parking, and trail closures are expected until further notice.
The parking project includes the construction and expansion of both the summit and base parking lots in addition to a satellite lot along the summit access road. This will greatly improve public safety, congestion, and the flow of traffic. The public restroom upgrades include the construction of composting toilet facilities located at both the summit and base. These will replace the portable facilities that currently exist at these locations. Composting toilets were selected due to the limited water supply and flow impacting water capacity for a flush system at the summit and comes with added environmental benefits.
During construction visitors can expect the Mount Agamenticus Road (road to summit) to be closed to all public access, including pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
- Limited parking is available along Mountain Road.
- Park in designated areas only.
- Visitors will be temporarily redirected around construction to a trailhead nearby.
If the gate at the bottom of the access road is open, the ROAD REMAINS CLOSED.
The summit is an active construction site at all times.
Visitors are strongly encouraged to seek alternative places to recreate at this time.
We are fortunate to have so many trails and conserved land in this region. Visit Maine Trail Finder for other trails to explore OR visit our partners at Great Works Regional Land Trust and York Land Trust.
