Burnt Jacket Mountain
About
Burnt Jacket Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 4.6 miles from the town of Greenville. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. A nearby weather station in Greenville records typical average highs around 75°F in July and 66°F in September, and because that station sits several hundred feet below the summit, temperatures up top run cooler. The Green Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Red Trail is about 0.4 mile off. Climbers can head to the Moose & Kennebec River Valleys climbing area roughly 1.2 miles away. Moosehead Lake offers fishing about 10 miles from the mountain.
