Indian Trail is a short, easy hike in Mount Kineo State Park in Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is about 0.45 miles long and is an out-and-back route, with a total climb of about 712 feet and a high point of 1,665 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.27 miles in, where the grade reaches 38 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Brassua Dam show July highs around 76°F with lows near 55°F, and the station sits about 600 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. The Bridal Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, and the North Trail and Carriage Trail are each about 1.4 miles off. West Outlet, a canoeing spot, is about 2.8 miles away.
