Kebo Brook Trail is a short, easy hike in Acadia National Park in Maine, managed by the National Park Service. The trail is about a mile long, and it rises from an elevation of about 217 feet to about 376 feet, with a total gain of 203 feet. That makes it a low-commitment outing, and the one-way figure works well for a quick outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, while September cools to highs in the low 70s. Winters are cold, with January highs near 33°F. The trail is a point-to-point route, and the steepest part comes early, about 32%, at roughly a third of the way. Bikes and horses are not allowed, and a fee is charged. Several other trails sit close by. Great Meadow Loop and Cadillac North Ridge Trail are each about half a mile away, and Gorge Path and Kebo Mountain Trail are both about 0.7 miles off.
