Mount Battie, Camden

Nice sup road to top. Amazing panoramic views. Cool history boards. Excellent tower with spiral staircase. Fun to see so far and the different terrains.

Driving up the Mount Battie auto road, and looking over Camden and much of Penobscot Bay was a highlight of our trip. The views are beautiful, the crowds manageable, and the experience memorable.

Nice peak. It can get a little busy at the top bc it’s also open to cars and not just hikers. Looks out over Camden Bay. The hike from the State Park entrance isn’t bad. There is a small fee to get in. Park in the lot designated “Hikers Parking”. Along the trail, there are a few steep bits but nothing too challenging. If you are looking for a bit more, go from the Mt. Battie peak to the ocean lookout. It’s straight up and super rocky, plus another great view.

Super easy drive up to the top. Small charge to get into the park itself- they do take credit cards too. The views are gorgeous. You can get a map and it will show you all of the hiking trails within the park.

The view on the summit is stunning once you navigate the minefield of potholes, bumps, and crumbling pavement leading you there. Shame on Maine for charging a toll and not using same to maintain this road.
