Norumbega Mountain Trail
Norumbega Mountain
Length: 1.4 miles from the trail head at Lower Hadlock Pond
Difficulty Rating: Moderate
The Norumbega Mountain trail is a moderate climb through coniferous woods. To access the trail head from the parking area at lower Hadlock Pond, follow the gravel road past the gate. The pond will be to the right. Stay right at the split in the road.
The path cuts toward the pond and skirts it briefly before joining the Norumbega Mountain trail in the woods. The trail substrate consists of forest floor, with some exposed roots, and granite. The woods are fairly dense but open up occasionally to reveal views of Somes Sound and Northeast Harbor. At .1 mile from the summit the trail opens and follows the ridge until reaching the summit.
