Oak Hill Trail, Great Pond Mountain Wildlands (Orland)

My older son and I hiked the Oak Hill Trail and camped out in the Great Pond Mountain Wildlands this weekend.

The Wildlands has two established backcountry campsites.  Reservations can be made through its website at https://www.greatpondtrust.org/wildland-maps-guidelines/using-the-wildlands/.

Oak Hill's summit is approximately 2.4 miles from the south gate. The summit provides views of the the surrounding area and also features low elevation bald habitat, fragile vegetation found in only a few spots in Maine.  Care should be used when at the summit to avoid disturbing the plants.
