Added by Riley Lawson

Easy hike up to the top of Hawk Mountain in Waterford, Maine to take in spectacular views.

1.4 mile Out-and-Back trail hike is family friendly and provides spectacular views, especially at sunset. Trail closes right after dusk though, so be careful to not wander too long. Turn onto Hawk Mountain Road, and drive until you see the parking lot on the left and trail head on the right, about one mile from turning onto the road. Definitely something for all ages. There is an area for campers to stay overnight, as well.

The signs say that it is a mile up, but my GPS tr...

Consider this moderate hike a warm-up to some of the bigger boys in the area! We've hiked Cathedral Ledge from Echo Lake State Park in the past, but wanted something a little longer in distance & slighting more challenging. When I asked the guy manning the State Park booth for a map he said, "ah, the long way". There are multiple ways to get to this ledge & do this trail. Some take Bryc...
