Two children engage with a park ranger at a community engagement event
Both kids and adults can learn a lot from about the monument from park rangers!

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument offers many opportunities for families to explore, learn, and connect with the park. Whether hiking on a trail, paddling down the river, enjoying a picnic, or attending a ranger-led program you will find something that is great for your family. If you're a kid (or a kid at heart), print out a Junior Ranger booklet to complete on your visit!

Remember, your safety is your responsibility.
