From the summit and ledges are beautiful views of Penobscot Bay. This trail follows an old town road, crosses Black Brook, and gradually rises past abandoned farmland, old cellar holes, and apple trees. Beware of the three-leaved poison ivy growing in sunny spots on the trail. Take Route 52 north from Route 1 intersection. Proceed 1.3 miles to turn right on Mountain Street.
Parking is very limited at the end of the street.
This trail begins as a gradual climb on the route of an old carriage road. At the junction with the Carriage Trail, turn right to climb to Mt. Battie's summit. This road was first cleared in 1814, in order to place three cannons on the mountain top to defend the Town of Camden in the War of 1812. This trail leaves the Carriage Road Trail to the left after .3 mile. It continues to climb through woods to meet the Tablelands Trail.
