Popular Trails:

1. Maiden Cliff Trail – 1.7 miles, moderate

The best vantage point of scenic Megunticook Lake can be obtained atop Maiden Cliff, an 800-foot-tall overlook inside Camden Hills State Park. It takes most hikers approximately 50 minutes to make the steep climb to the peak. The elevation gain is gradual, however, so we recommend this hike to all ages. Maiden Cliff provides sprawling views of the colorful valley, including the Camden “Snow Bowl.”

2. Mount Battie Trail – 1.1 miles, moderate

If you’re planning a trip to Maine in the fall, you must trek to the top of Mount Battie. Mount Battie is perhaps the most popular scenic overlook in the state, so expect a bit of foot traffic, but the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean views are well worth the trip. The foliage on this journey doesn’t quite rival Maiden Cliff, but we cannot think of a better picnic locale in New England.

3. Bald Mountain Trail – 2.4 miles, moderate

Bald Mountain is perhaps the most underrated hiking destination in the region. At the peak, you’ll obtain faraway views of the Atlantic Ocean as well as a secluded backcountry lake. The bald, rocky mountaintop is also a splendid spot for an afternoon picnic amidst crimson shrubberies, singing birds, and occasional wind gusts.
