Mt. Battie

Camden Hills State Park, United States

The largest mountain in town has a road that runs to the top. For a small fee you can drive up and see views of Penobscot Bay. You can also hike the mountain for free. Trails may be accessed from US Route 1 in the north end of town, or from off Route 52. The mountain is part of Camden Hills State Park, and a state-owned campground is maintained at its base. Mount Megunticook, the taller mountain visible behind Mount Battie from downtown, is accessed primarily from Route 52; its western flanks are a popular hiking and rock and ice climbing destination.
