Denny Trail is an easy out-and-back hike in Maine's Deboullie, managed by State Park and Recreation. The route is about 2.7 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 311 feet, and it starts at roughly 1,213 feet, rising to a high point of about 1,318 feet before returning to the start. The steepest stretch comes at about 1.3 miles in, with a grade of about 8 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 makes an easy pairing with other hikes in the area. Whitman Valley is just 0.1 mile away, and the Gardner Loop Trail and Tower Trail are both within a mile. The Waterfall Loop Trail is about 1.2 miles off.
