About Cardigan Mountain State Park

A 5,655-acre tract of forest surrounds the bare granite summit of Mount Cardigan, which rises 3,121 feet and lacks the tree cover typical of the surrounding land. A hiking trail climbs to that treeless top, and picnic spots are set within the grounds. Use of the land carries no fee and access holds through every season.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
