  • French Mountain — A delightful and very quick little hike, about .8 miles round trip. Dogs allowed. Nice views.
  • Mt. Phillip — 1.4-mile loop, two lookouts. Dogs allowed on this little mountain.
  • The Mountain and Quill Hill — On The Mountain, you can do a pleasant 2.3-mile forested loop that includes two lookouts of Long Pond. You can extend your hike if you continue walking north onto the conserved land around Quill Hill, which offers a rolling, forested loop of about 3 miles. 
  • Round Top Mountain — The loop trail on this 1,133-foot mountain is just under four miles, which will take you to some nice views of the Belgrade Lakes. At the bottom of the trailhead is a .7-mile hike (downhill) to a swimmable site on Long Pond.
  • Sanders Hill — This 2.9-mile mountain trail doesn’t boast the views of nearby ones in the Kennebec Highlands, Belgrade Lakes area, but it is quiet and nice.
  • “A” Trail — I’m not sure why the A is in quotes! This 9-mile hike offers one view and one viewless, but pleasant, mountain top. At the bottom of the trailhead is a .7-mile hike (downhill) to a swimmable site on a Long Pond.
