| Slibs | Love This Place  | |
| Hike hear all the time, its close to home, and a great place to visit with a multitude of trails. The views are spectacular, from Ocean Lookout, and I love the Jack Williams Trail that walks besides the ridge. My great grandmother used to walk these trails, I like the connection to the past. | |

| kavak | Megunticook TH to Ridge Trail Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2004 | |
| This was a warmup for my youngest son and I while on our way to the Mt Katahdin area. It seemed most people stopped at the Maiden Cliffs without actually hiking to the true summit. | |

| imzadi | Great Day hike | |
| didn't put in a date climed because I've done this one many, many times. I live within 30 minutes of this mountain...the trails in Camden Hills provide many a great day hike loop...you can combine trails for anything from a 2 hr hike to a 10 hr hike. None of the peaks in the area are huge...Megunticook is the biggest at 1380 but, they all offer great hikes. This is also a wonderful place to start out new hikers. it's about 1 mile to Ocean Lookout, not too steep...and gives a great reward. | |

| Florida Frank | Great climb Date Climbed: May 15, 1987 | |
| This is a great spring escape from the North Maine woods. Spring comes perhaps a month earlier down in these parts. Easy climb and great views from Ocean Lookout. | |

| Flanders | Stay away - not worth it! Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006 | |
| Hopefully that scared you off and the views will be mine, all mine! When I got home I immediately went to realtor.com to find homes for sale, and then Monster for jobs, in the area. The views were that good! | |

| EastKing | The Ocean Lookout had the best views Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2000 | |
| Date climbed was an approximation due to it being six years ago!! I will always remember this mountain has the one I decided to do an evening hike and forget my flashlight! The view from the Ocean Lookout was 1 million times better than the view from Mount Battie!! The true summit had no view and just had a cairn in the center marking the summit. It was rather disappointing but luckily only a half mile from the Ocean Lookout which during sunset was amazing. I got a great sunset but was very scary about walking with no flashlight at night. It is now a religion to bring a flashlight on evening hike! | |

| Brian Jenkins | Cool one Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006 | |
| Climbed with Flanders. This one turned out to be more of a treat than I thought it would be. Neat hike up to Maiden Cliffs and then hopping rock to the summit. Easy jaunt to the Ocean Lookout where we hung out for a while. Camden Harbor is extremely picturesque. This one is so cool because there are a multitude of trails to do, you could keep coming back to this one. | |
