Hike Bald Mountain in Rangeley
The trail itself has a gradual incline over the course of the 1.15 miles to get to the top. There are a few steeper sections near the top, but completely manageable even for a beginner. There is another trailhead off of route 4, which would lead to a longer hike, around 4 miles. When coming from Bald Mountain Rd, the intersection with the trail on route 4 is the only intersection you will come ...
Hike to Fourth Connecticut Lake
The Fourth Connecticut Lake is a northern glacial tarn, just 2.5 acres in surface area. The mighty Connecticut River is just a small babbling brook as it leaves Fourth Connecticut Lake. It's only about 200 yards from the Canadian border. The 78-acre area is a nature sanctuary preserved by The Nature Conservancy.This trail is one of few trails in the world that crosses international borders. The...
Fly Fish Lower Dam at Rapid River, Maine
Getting to Rapid River can be a bit of a trek, as the 10 or so miles leading to it is a maze of logging roads and the cell service is spotty at best. Here is a rundown of the route:Driving Northeast on Rt 26, take a sharp right onto Andover RD (East B Hill Road)After 2.1 miles, turn left onto Brown County RD (this is where the dirt road begins)After 1.2 miles, Brown County RD turns into Popple ...
Swim in Coos Canyon
Coos Canyon is right off of route 17 in Byron, ME. It's almost impossible to miss but if you're worried about it you can type "coos canyon" or "coos canyon rock and gift" into google maps and it will take you right there. There is a gravel parking lot to the right side of the road (heading north) so simply park and walk down to the river below. Fifty feet or so down river there is a waterfall ...
Hike to the Top of Table Rock
Though the trail may seem a bit daunting at first (especially for beginners), this out-and-back hike isn't all that difficult. At the trailhead (located almost directly behind the sign "Entering Dixville Notch State Park"), you'll begin by walking through some densely wooded forest. The trail is pretty steep and requires a bit of finesse as there are a lot of fallen branches and limbs across th...
Avery Peak and West Bigelow
Begin on East Flagstaff Rd and follow the Safford Brook Trail until you reach the junction with the Appalachian Trail. Turning left or north bound will bring you, shortly to the side trail for the Safford Brook Campsite; turning right (or southbound) on the A.T. will begin the climb to Avery Peak. The trail becomes very steep as it climbs up through boulders, and about halfway to the peak, ther...
