Explore Maine's Trails
Hiking is one of the best ways to experience the natural beauty of Maine’s Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway. From quiet forest paths to riverside walks and mountain climbs, the area offers trails on public & private land with sweeping views and peaceful solitude. Whether you’re looking for a short stroll or a full-day adventure, there’s a trail here for every kind of explorer.
Coburn Mountain
Distance: 1.4 miles
Difficulty: Challenging
The views are outstanding from this 3,718-foot mountain’s small observation deck.
Follow US-201 to Enchanted Mountain Road just beyond Parlin Pond. Travel 2.1 miles down Enchanted Mountain Road.
The Enchanted Mountain Road is passable but is a rough road. Say right when the road splits early on. You’ll come to the old Enchanted Mountain ski area base, where you can park. The trailhead is 0.2 miles away from the parking area.
The trail is really steep. You climb a good way on this rocky route, for approximately 1 mile, until you reach a small radio tower. Continue ascending on the snowmobile path for 150 feet. You’ll see the footpath on your right, marked with a cairn. It heads into mossy spruce woods. In about .25 miles you’ll reach the open top, where there’s more radio equipment and the viewing platform. To return, you can take the footpath back down, or follow the longer (8/10 of a mile) and gradual snowmobile path, which offers some additional views but can be quite wet in some areas.
