Blue Hill Mountain
FreeDiscover scenic coastal views on Maine's historic Blue Hill Mountain.
Located in Blue Hill, Maine, and managed by the Blue Hill Heritage Trust rather than inside Acadia National Park, Blue Hill Mountain is an accessible 934-foot peak. It features several trails—including the Hayes, Osgood, and Becton trails—that lead hikers through forests and meadows to open ledge summits. At the top, visitors enjoy sweeping panoramic vistas of Blue Hill Bay, Mount Desert Island, and the surrounding peninsula.
