Wabassus Mountain

Wabassus Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 4 miles from the town of Elsemore Landing. The Wabassus Mountain Trail begins less than half a mile from the peak and is the closest hiking route on the map, making it the natural way to reach the top. Typical averages from the Grand Lake Stream weather station, about 5 miles away, point to summer and early fall as the most comfortable time to go. July and August highs average 78°F with lows in the upper 50s. June runs a little cooler at 73°F, and September sits around 70°F. May and October are crisper, with highs of 64°F and 57°F. Winter is cold and snowy. January highs average 27°F with lows near 9°F, and snow falls on about seven days that month. Snow days continue into April, and wet days come steadily year-round, roughly 9 to 12 a month. The station sits more than 500 feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler than these figures. Besides the Wabassus Mountain Trail, nearby options include the Pocumcus Lake Trail and Trail to Tomorrow, each about 4 to 5 miles away. Grand Lake Stream, at about 5 miles, offers river fishing.
