Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region

Day Hike in the Southern Coast of Maine

Maine is the largest state in New England, known for both its mountainous interior and its rugged southern coastline. The iconic Appalachian peaks lie in the northern part of the state, while the southern coastal region is generally defined by rolling hills, dense forests, tidal rivers, and historic colonial-era architecture—not mountains. One major exception is Acadia National Park, where coastal mountains rise directly from the Atlantic, offering some of the most dramatic topography in the region.

At just 693 feet, Mount Agamenticus is modest in height, but its location a few miles inland from the coast makes it a standout. Near Route 1 and I-95, and not far from where many visitors enter the state, it offers a convenient and scenic day hike. From its summit, you can see both the Atlantic Ocean to the south and distant mountain peaks to the north.
