Second Hill
About
Second Hill is a summit in Maine, about 5 miles from the town of Cape Neddick. It sits at roughly 550 feet, and several short trails pass within half a mile, making it an easy addition to a walk on the surrounding trail network. Late summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cape Neddick show September highs around 71°F with lows near 51°F, and the summit sits a few hundred feet higher than the station, so expect it to run a little cooler. The Ridge Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Porcupine Trail and Bobcat Trail are within half a mile. Climbers can find Kenyon Hill Preserve about 2 miles off.
