Mount Sabattus Trail is a 1.3-mile loop in Sabattus Mountain State Park in Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail rises from about 810 feet to a high point of 1,251 feet, with a total elevation gain of 470 feet. The climb is front-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes at about 1.1 miles, where the grade reaches 26 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bethel show July highs around 79°F with lows near 57°F, and the station sits about 460 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. The trip takes about half an hour. The Yellow and Blue Trail and Heald Bradley Ponds Reserve Trails are both within about 3 miles, and the Orange Trail is close by as well. Climbers can find The Family Wall about 7 miles away.
