Summary

The Maiden Cliff Trail (1 mile, moderate) offers an ascent to some spectacular views from cliffs that tower 800' over Megunticook Lake. The trail gradually follows a brook for the first half-mile, after which the path takes a somewhat steeper climb, culminating at a plateau. The trail traverses open ledges at the top of the cliff, leading to a notable destination, where a large steel cross commemorates Elenora French.

Hi Cbetheuil, thanks for adding this hike. I'm temporarily in Waldo County and wanted to hike. I did mount Waldo on MOnday and that was a surprising nice hike. My name is bruce
