McDaniels Hill
About
McDaniels Hill is a summit in Maine, rising to 1,223 feet about 11 miles from the town of Bridgton. It sits close to a cluster of hiking trails, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 57°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Bethel. That station sits roughly 400 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The Yellow and Blue Trail passes just 0.1 mile away, and the Orange Trail and Mountain Trail (Blue Trail) are both within a mile. For a longer outing, the Heald Bradley Ponds Reserve Trails lie about 2 miles off.
