Klondike Mountain got its name from a devious get-rich scheme concocted by a reverend and his buddy in 1897. (It involved extracting gold from seawater, a company called Electrolytic Marine Salts, and gadgets called “accumulators” to sink into the bay.) You can read about it on the Downeast Coastal Conservancy’s website.
The mountain, which is just a bit over 800 feet has nice views from its open summit, sits within a 46-acre preserve that includes a trail off to a “pond.” That pond appears to be an inlet? Unless I missed something rather obvious. The whole trail network is under one mile.
Directions: From Route 189, turn onto North Lubec Road. Go about a mile, and you’ll see the parking area on the left.
