Goat Trail
Norumbega Mountain
Length: .6 mile from the Route 198/3 parking pull off to the summit
Difficulty Rating: Strenuous
This direct trail up Norumbega is steep and challenging. The trail gains elevation quickly over uneven terrain and some excessively granite cliffs. Most of the elevation is gained within the first .4 of a mile and the trail becomes less severe as it reaches the summit.
A good loop for exploring Norumbega is traveling the Goat trail in conjunction with the Norumbega Mountain trail. Take the Goat Trail up, follow the Norumbega Mountain trail down over the ridge down to Hadlock Pond, connect with the Hadlock Pond trail and then follow the Goat Trail back to the parking pull off. The total mileage for the loop is 3.2 miles.
