Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

The Tablelands Trail in Camden, Maine offers a moderate hike with scenic views and diverse terrain. Parking is easy, and the trail is not crowded, making it a peaceful outdoor escape. There are beautiful natural surroundings, although the rocky paths and tree roots require careful footing. The trail is also dog-friendly, with bathrooms available, and is in great condition overall.

The Ocean View Lookout offers great views and is a highlight of this hike. You consider branching off to add Adam’s Lookout if you have the energy, but it may not be worth the extra distance for everyone.

The trail can get slick during rain, so it’s advised to take your time in wet conditions. Despite the steep terrain in some areas, like the climb from the parking lot to Mount Battie, the trail is well-maintained and marked, making it easy to follow.

Its $6 per person to get into the park. A few parking options can impact the length of the hike. Well marked, uphill to the top, mostly over big rocks. Great hike, great views!

Mount Battie

The summit of Mount Battie is accessible from either the front trail that is located just outside of the state park, or there is an auto road that leads up to the summit within the park (the location drop pin reflects the route within the park). To access the front trail, the trailhead is on mountain street where there is a small parking lot available. The auto road is usually closed in winte...

Hike Mount Megunticook in Camden Hills State Park

After driving in to Camden Hills State Park, there is a fork where you can go straight (to the campgrounds) or left (to head up Mount Battie). Take a left and then park in the parking lot immediately on your right. That is the trailhead to Mount Megunticook! The trail itself winds through the trees, slowly gaining elevation. There is a point where the trail forks into two. Both options will get...

Hike up to Maiden's Cliff

With a total elevation gain of 1000 feet in one mile to the top, the entire hike is uphill. The whole hike is within tree line until the very top, but there is a beautiful stream to hike next to for at least half. At the top, the view opens up to the Maiden's Cliff, and the view is spectacular. The one mile back is not difficult, but if you hike it in winter, it can get pretty icy, so be carefu...

Camp at Acadia National Park's Duck Harbor

Introduction Didn't think there was backpacking to be done in Acadia National Park? Think again! Isle au Haut (pronounced "isle ah ho") is a little island off of Stonington, Maine. Half of the island is a quiet and quaint New England island community and the other half is part of Acadia National Park, thanks to a generous donation by the island's founders. This trip takes a bit of planning...

Kayak Downeast Maine

This scenic coastline is one of my favorites to travel whether it be on the water or on the shore. The route passes a large sand bar that is great for hanging out on, and enjoying a picnic. This coast also has quite a few summer houses, but it's not hard to find an open spot without bothering anyone to take a break and chill out along the shore. The launching area is public, but known by few.Fr...

Hike Blue Hill Mountain

There are two main trailheads to access the mountain, both of which have various ways of getting up. One easy trail that has only a few steep sections is the Osgood trail. Start by parking at the Osgood parking lot. Cross the street, and follow the well marked trail up. Cross a small bridge, and continue up the steepest park of the mountain, until you come to another bridge - stay to the left. ...
