About this place

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.
