A moderately difficult 3.7 mile RT hike in Baxter State Park in Maine
The trail head for this 3.7 mile RT hike in Baxter State Park is located at the Roaring Brook Campground. The hike begins with a nice walk through the woods with several view points of Sandy Stream Pond, then you pick up elevation as you ascend the mountain. The last part of the hike is boulder scrambling above tree line to reach the peak of South Turner Mountain. Excellent views of the surrounding mountains.
