Hiking

The ‘Parkman Mountain’ is located on our six-peak circular hike between ‘Somes Sound’ in the west and ‘Sargent Mountain’. At the end of May we reach the granite rock summit after a short descent from ‘Bald Peak’, which is in the immediate vicinity. The well-marked rock path leads steeply down into a mountain depression and steeply up again.
The direct ascent to the mountain is usually via the ‘Parkman Mountain Trail’ from the Norumbega car park on Route 3.

Hiking

The Parkman Mountain summit makes a fantastic hike when combined with the nearby Gilmore Peak and Bald Peak. Hikers should be cautious about bikers and horses when crossing the carriage road at lower points of the trail.
