Sentier Les Cabourons

Sentier Les Cabourons is a short, point-to-point trail in Maine, covering just over a third of a mile. It is a compact route that demands significant effort and technical skill, making it a challenging choice for hikers looking for an intense, brief outing in the Maine wilderness. The nearest town is Lac Frontiere, about 9 miles away. The trail is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.27 miles from the start. The climb rises from 1,811 feet to 1,904 feet, with a total gain of 134 feet, and the route also includes a loss of 119 feet. The steepest grade reaches 16 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Clayton Lake show July highs around 76°F with lows near 52°F, though that station sits about 900 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail takes about half an hour to complete. Several other hikes lie close by, including Sentier Du Lac Talon at 0.7 miles, Sentier De L'érablière at 0.8 miles and Sentier Les Paroies at 0.9 miles.
