Campfires can only be kindled with a valid Maine Forest Service campfire permit and only in designated locations such as established campsites and lean-tos. A free permit is easily acquired prior to a visit by calling the Northern Regional Office of the Maine Fire Service at 207-435-7963 or visiting them at 45 Radar Street in Ashland, Maine.
