In Maine's Midcoast region, hikers favor the Camden Hills area, where mid-sized peaks offer great advanced beginner and intermediate hikes with views of Penobscot Bay and its islands as an ample reward.
Dwarfed by Mount Megunticook in terms of height, and ranking at best fourth in terms of hiker numbers, Bald Rock Mountain arguably offers the best views in the Camden Hills.
Hikers can experience some of the best of these scenic coastal mountains by tackling the Megunticook Traverse, a route that takes in the long ridgeline of Mount Megunticook from Maiden Cliff to Mount Battie.
