Table Rock

Table Rock is a summit in western Maine, about 5.8 miles from the town of North Newry. It sits within a tight cluster of hiking routes, so it is easy to fold into a longer day on the surrounding trails. Typical averages from the Middle Dam, ME weather station, 13.2 miles away, point to June through September as the mildest stretch. July runs about 76°F by day and 54°F at night, August is nearly the same, and September cools to around 68°F and 45°F. Winter is severe, with January highs near 24°F and lows around 2°F, and shoulder months stay cold: April averages about 48°F and 27°F, and November about 41°F and 24°F. Expect precipitation on 13 to 18 days in a typical month year-round. The station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler than these figures. The Table Rock Trail starts half a mile away, and the Appalachian Trail and Eyebrow Trail both pass within 0.6 miles. The Grafton Loop Trail lies about 1.6 miles off.
