Maine's Best Spots - FLYING MOUNTAIN – by Wood Island Studio
Flying Mountain – Acadia National Park
Don’t let the modest elevation fool you—Flying Mountain is one of Acadia National Park’s hidden treasures. Rising just 284 feet, this short but rewarding hike offers sweeping views over Somes Sound, Valley Cove, and the surrounding islands of Mount Desert’s "quiet side." The Flying Mountain Trail, located near Southwest Harbor, is ideal for families and anyone seeking a peaceful walk with a dramatic coastal payoff.
The trail climbs gently through mossy forests and over granite ledges, leading to a lookout that feels far bigger than the mountain’s height suggests. From the summit, the water stretches wide, boats drift silently below, and the hills of Acadia roll out in all directions. It’s a place where hikers can pause, breathe deeply, and feel fully immersed in the landscape—without the effort of a long ascent.
Loved for its accessibility, solitude, and postcard-worthy views, Flying Mountain offers a quiet kind of magic. It’s a reminder that in Acadia, sometimes the most unforgettable moments come from the simplest trails.
