The Deboullie Loop Trail is a moderate out-and-back hike in Maine's Deboullie area, managed by State Park and Recreation. The route is about 8.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 402 feet, and it reaches a high point of 1,380 feet. The trail starts at roughly 1,187 feet and passes through a low point of 1,130 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 2.6 miles in, where the grade reaches 18 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Allagash weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 52°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. Winters are cold, with January highs around 20°F. The trail sits close to several other hikes. Black Mountain Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and Whitman Ridge is about half a mile off. Island Pond Trail and Upper Pond Trail are both within about 1.5 miles.
