Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust

Bald Mountain (Oquossoc)
2025-02-15 10:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Bald Mountain Oquossoc, Bald Mountain Road, Oquossoc, Maine, 04964
Our next Winter Community Hike will be up Bald Mountain in Oquossoc, right between Mooselookmeguntic and Rangeley Lakes, at 10am on Saturday, February 15th. We’ll take the Bald Mountain Trail which ascends from the parking area off Bald Mountain Road to the summit of Bald Mountain. The hike each way will be just 1.3 miles. This is a moderate hike but there are steep sections near the end and conditions may be icy enough to require microspikes. However, this is a good winter hike due to the accessibility of the trail, the short length and the great views on the summit (with a fire tower). From the summit, you can see about fifty miles of the Appalachian Trail in Maine.

CANCELLED DUE TO MORE BAD WEATHER Caribou Mountain Hike
2025-06-07 09:00 - 17:00 | Caribou Mountain, 436 Bog Road, Unorganized Territory of South Oxford, ME, 04217, United States
And we are back for the summer 2025 for Community Hikes! This initial hike of the season will be on Saturday, June 7th, with a meet up time of 9am. We will be heading up Caribou Mountain in the White Mountain National Forest. While the mountain is not directly on the Appalachian Trail it is on Forest Service land (like much of the A.T. landscape to the south) and there are great views of areas where the trail passes to the west and north. Plus it is one of our favorite trips!
We will be taking the Caribou Trail from the east trailhead, which is 2.8 miles down Bog Road off Route 2 in West Bethel. Many guidebooks only describe this trail from the Route 113 side in Evans Notch, so be careful! The hike is relatively moderate for most of its length and the distance to the summit is 3.1 miles (returning the same way). We will meet in the parking area past Pooh Corner Farm at the end of Bog Road.
You can fine more information on this hike here.
You must RSVP for this hike through this page below or contact us (info@matlt.org or 207-808-2073)! When entering a Forest Service wilderness area, the limit per group is ten people.
