About Camden Hills State Park
Discover Camden Hills State Park in Camden, Maine, a haven for hikers of all levels. This stunning park offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Camden harbor, and the rolling Maine landscape. Challenge yourself with the popular Mt. Megunticook hike, a moderate 2.8-mile loop that utilizes several distinct trails marked with colored blazes. Be prepared for some steep sections, rocky bedrock, and a seasonal waterfall, and keep an eye out for the stunning vistas awaiting you at the summit. Remember to factor in the per-person entry fee when planning your visit.
For a shorter and easier trek, explore the Mount Battie Vistas trail. This gentle 0.3-mile loop leads you to the iconic Mt. Battie Tower, offering spectacular views of Camden and its picturesque harbor. Enjoy two distinct viewpoints from the summit; one near the tower, and a quieter spot a short walk further east.
