About Cedar Swamp Mountain
Cedar Swamp Mountain is a summit of 935 feet in Acadia National Park in Maine, about 2.7 miles from the village of Northeast Harbor. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. Hadlock Brook Trail is about 0.3 miles away, and Penobscot Mountain Trail and Hadlock Ponds Trail are each about half a mile off. Climbers can head to South Bubble, roughly 1.2 miles away.
