Not high as mountains go, 692' ASL, but from its peak on a clear day one can see the skyscrapers of Boston to the south, Cape Elizabeth and the entrance to Casco Bay to the North and the Presidential Range, including Mount Washington, to the West. You can drive to the top or if you are hardy souls, you can park to the right at the gate and walk up. It's only a 15 or 20 minute walk. There are picnic tables for those who care to use them, but the North slope beyond the old lodge is a more desirable spot for true picnickers. Take a right at this point.
Maps are available at the registration desk.
According to Indian legend, Chief Aspinquid was being chased by settlers when he jumped off the west face of the mountain only to die upon landing. The rock pile stands as a memorial to the chief.
