Bald Pate Mountain Preserve, located in South Bridgton, is a favorite local hike. Great views, family friendly hiking, groomed ski trails (for a small fee), hunting, and snowshoeing. The land consists of 486 acres of forest,  granite-topped scenic vistas and a pristine ancient pitch pine forest atop the summit. The 6.7 mile trail network offers a variety of destinations and views. Please note: no fires or camping are allowed at Bald Pate Mountain.

Trails are primarily dirt with rocks and roots. You travel through a number of forest types as you make your way to the summit. The trails are great for kids! All hiking trails are marked with metal trail markers, wooden directional signs, and are maintained by LELT staff and a dedicated group of local stewardship volunteers.

- There are two parking areas for Bald Pate Mountain Preserve. The main parking area is off of Rt 107 (room for 20 cars). Access to the Micah Trailhead (room for 4 vehicles) is off Moose Pond Cove Rd, on the left hand side.
- Parking areas are plowed for winter use and both trailheads have information kiosks with maps and use guidelines.
- There are no 'you are here' signs so please take a photo of the map at the kiosk before you head on your hike.
- There are no benches, restrooms, or interpretive displays on the property.

Access to this land and trails is free. If you would like to support the stewardship of Bald Pate Mountain consider a donation to Loon Echo Land Trust.

Bald Pate Mountain is within the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki, a member tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy. The Abenaki First Nations of Odanak and Wôlinak maintain reservations along the St. Francis and St. Lawrence Rivers in the Canadian province of Quebec, where they sought refuge following colonial warfare in the Saco, Presumpscot, and Androscoggin River watersheds during the 17th and 18th centuries.
