녹스 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산 정상

The Mount Battie Trail is advertised as a one-hour hike with a steep ascent from the south to the summit at approximately 240 m. The rain the day before and fog until midday make the ascent over the still-wet granite slabs in the forest a challenge (even more so on the descent). As the forest thins, we have the best view of the city by the bay, surrounded by dense forest as far as the eye can see. There is a small, free parking lot at the lower trailhead; we leave the vehicle in the village on Washington Street, also free of charge. The ascent over the steep rock slabs in the upper section is challenging in wet conditions. Surefootedness is required for the hike. https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/7040614/mt-battie-trail

There is a tower at the summit of the mountain. To get here you climb around 1000 feet — there are a number of routes you can take depending on whether you want short and steep (start from Rockland Road) or slow and gradual (start from the north).

Beech Hill can be reached via Beech Hill Trail from either direction and done as an out-and-back or loop hike. The summit is an open hill offering splendid views of Penobscot Bay and Camden Hills. There is a connector trail to Erickson Fields Preserve for those who wish to extend the hike.

Mount Battie Trail leads from Camden up to Mount Battie. At half a mile in length each way, the trail is short, beginning quite steeply and evening out as you near the top. The views from Mount Battie are stunning and absolutely worth the hike.
