Raven Tag Trail

Raven Tag Trail is an easy, out-and-back hike in Maine, about 1.7 miles from the town of Monson. The route is short and low, with a total round-trip length of about 0.74 miles and a total elevation gain of about 128 feet, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent in the area. The trail rises to a high point of about 806 feet, with the steepest section coming at about 0.15 miles in. It is back-loaded, so the climb is a little more noticeable on the return leg than on the way out. Summer and early fall are the mildest times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville run to highs around 75°F in July and 66°F in September. Winters are cold, with January highs near 23°F and lows around 5°F.
