Allagash Mountain Trail is a moderate out-and-back hike in Maine's Chamberlain Unit, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is about 1.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 1,464 feet, and it starts at roughly 1,776 feet, reaching a high point of 1,787 feet before returning to the same level. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.17 miles in, with a grade of 41 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Clayton Lake show July highs around 76°F with lows near 52°F, and the station sits about 787 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the mountain run cooler. The trip takes about an hour. Paddlers can find Caucomgomoc Stream about 6.8 miles away, and the Eagle Lake Locomotives and Tramway Trail is about 9.5 miles off.
