Bird's Perch is a climbing area in Little Concord Pond State Park in Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, including Bouldering, Left End, Shagg Crag and Right End, all within about a tenth of a mile. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Rumford run to highs around 79°F in July, with lows near 58°F. That station sits roughly 760 feet lower than the park, so temperatures at the climbing areas run cooler. The Androscoggin River Trail, a paddling route, is about 2 miles away. Hikers can reach the J-n-J Backcountry Trail, Buck's Ledge Trail and Lapham Ledge Trail within about 7 miles.
