Tumbledown Mountain

Location:  Byron Road
Weld
 
Services:  Hiking up Tumbledown Mountain is a tremendous experience. It is the second most often taken hike in Maine (Katahdin is first).

Trails range in length from 1.5 to 3 miles, all requiring at least some difficult climbing.

Hikers can expect woodland paths leading to steep rocky cliff trails, capped by a beautiful alpine pond.

To get there, take Route 4 north from Auburn to Wilton. From there Route 156 leads to Weld, where signs lead to Mount Blue State Park. At the crossroad, take Route 142 almost four miles to Byron Road. Go less than a mile to where the paved road veers to the left and becomes West Road. At this juncture, Byron Road becomes a dirt road. Take it about four miles, past Mountain view Cemetery and Morgan Road over a wooden bridge to a culvert. There the trail head for the shorter, and easier, Brook Trail is on the right next to the culvert. Farther down the road is the longer Loop Trail.
