At the junction of the Ridge Trail at .5 mile, turn left to climb through woods to the open ledges and cliffs. Beginning in the campground, this wooded trail extends up Mt. Megunticook's eastern slope and ends at Ocean Lookout, elevation 1,300 feet, for a sudden sweeping view of the ocean, the lakes, and the other Camden Hills. Moderate, with several steep places. Turn right on Spring Street, the fourth street from the intersection of Route 52 north and U.S. Route 1. Then turn left onto Megunticook Street.
Parking is very limited here.
The trail climbs through thinning woods and opens to ledges for fine area views. The trail begins about 200 feet beyond the main gate on the right side of Mt. Battie Road. It gradually climbs through mixed forest and intersects Tablelands Trail, which extends left across the auto road to the summit of Mt. Battie. The tower on Mt. Battie affords dramatic panoramic views of Camden Harbor and Penobscot Bay. This trail is perhaps the most scenic in the park, with numerous views of the ocean, mountains, and Lake Megunticook.
