Dodge Point is a bouldering area in Maine managed by State Park and Recreation. It is its own land unit, and the closest town is Newcastle, about 4 miles away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 11 routes spread across a range from V1 to V10, so the boulderer can find something from the easy end of the scale up to a challenging V10. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Newcastle weather station show July highs around 78°F with lows near 60°F, while winter brings highs in the 30s and regular snow days from December through February. Several short trails sit close by. The Shore Trail is about 0.2 miles away, and the Timber and Ravine trails are each about 0.4 miles off. For another bouldering session, Birch Point Boulder is about 6 miles away.
