Bradbury Mountain

About

Bradbury Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 5 miles from the town of Freeport. Several short trails start within a few hundred yards of the summit, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding paths. The most comfortable hiking months are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gray, Maine, run from highs around 64°F in May to the high 70s in July and August. September cools back to about 70°F, and snow is typical from November through April. The Tote Road and Northern Loop trails both begin about 0.1 mile away, and the Switchback Trail is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find the Southern Boulder Patch nearby. Paddlers can head to Chandler Brook, about 2.7 miles away.
