About Mead Mountain

Mead Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 7 miles from the town of Bucksport. It sits at 659 feet, and several short trails start within a mile and a half of it, making it an easy addition to a day of hiking in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July and August highs reach about 77°F with lows in the mid-50s, based on averages from a nearby weather station at E Surry. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The closest trails are Mead Mtn Trail, about a mile away, and Stuart Gross Trail, just beyond it. Oak Hill Trail and Capstone Trail are both within about 1.4 miles.
