Silvermine Bald

Highlight • Viewpoint

Silvermine Bald is one of the lesser visited lookout vistas on the Art Loeb Trail and Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Sitting just below 6,000 feet itself, Silvermine Bald looks out over many of the bald 6,000+ foot peaks in the area. Multiple grassy meadows in the area also make for great camping spots for overnight backpackers.
