点评:Out-of-state tourists like us had only heard about Mount Battie, never knowing it was located within a state park. We had to pay a day-use fee of $6 per person, per day, for anyone aged 12 to 64 years. There was no per-vehicle fee and no discounts for out-of-state veterans. If I had been 65, as a non-resident, I would have only been charged $2, and if our child was 5 to 11, the fee would have been just $1. Our family of three paid $18 by credit card for less than 30 minutes. In contrast, Maine residents pay only $4 (ages 12-64), and residents 65 and older are FREE.
Likewise, residents of Maine, or well-timed tourists, can also take advantage of leaf peeping in the fall. There are at least 20 trails, with notable ones being the Megunticook (1 mi, moderate), Maiden Cliff ( 1 mi, moderate), and Mount Battie (0.5 mi, moderate to strenuous) trails. RVs and campers can take advantage of the late May to mid-October camping season. The campground offers restrooms, showers, a nature center, playground, firewood, Wi-Fi at select campsites, full hookups, and a dumping station. Don't wait to make your reservations for the summer, as they open up for the season in February. In early September, all campsites switch from a reservations system to a first-come/first-serve basis. A two-night (minimum on weekends) camping fee with full hookups will run about $86.30 for Maine residents and $108.10 for non-residents.
翻译:像我们这样的外州游客只听说过巴蒂山,根本不知道它位于州立公园内。12岁至64岁的游客需要支付每人每天6美元的一日使用费。外州退伍军人没有每辆车的费用,也没有折扣。如果我是65岁的非缅因州居民,只需支付2美元;如果我们的孩子是5岁至11岁,只需支付1美元。我们一家三口用信用卡支付了18美元,但只使用了不到30分钟。相比之下,缅因州居民(12岁至64岁)只需支付4美元,65岁及以上则免费。
同样,缅因州居民或时间充裕的游客也可以在秋天欣赏枫叶。这里至少有 20 条步道,其中著名的有 Megunticook(1 英里,难度适中)、Maiden Cliff(1 英里,难度适中)和 Mount Battie(0.5 英里,难度适中至费力)。房车和露营者可以利用五月下旬到十月中旬的露营季节。露营地提供卫生间、淋浴、自然中心、游乐场、柴火、部分露营地的 Wi-Fi、全套连接设施和垃圾站。不要等到夏季预订,因为二月份就开始开放了。九月初,所有露营地都将从预订系统转为先到先得。缅因州居民两晚(周末至少)的全套连接露营费用约为 86.30 美元,非居民约为 108.10 美元。
