About Derry Mountain

Derry Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 4.8 miles from the town of Camden. It sits among a cluster of hiking trails and climbing areas, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the hills outside town. Summer into early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. A nearby weather station records typical July averages of a 77°F high and a 60°F low, easing to a 69°F high in September. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the summit, so expect slightly cooler temperatures up top. The closest neighbor is the Frohock Mountain Trail, just 0.6 miles away, with the Cameron Mountain Trail and Bald Rock Trail each about 1.2 miles off. Climbers can find rock at Ocean Lookout/Upper Megunticook, roughly 3.3 miles away.
