About
Birch Harbor Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 2 miles from the town of Winter Harbor. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station records typical average highs around 79°F in July with lows near 60°F, and September averages a milder 71°F high. Expect rain on roughly 10 to 13 days in any month of the year. The closest outing is the Lower Harbor Trail, about 0.6 miles away.
