A relatively easy (but steep slope) and beautiful hike rewarding you with a nice view of Great Pond. www.7lakesalliance.org

Nearby Rome, Maine is home to one of the area’s most popular hiking trails. With a change in elevation of nearly 400 feet, the apex of the Mount Phillip Trail will give visitors a picturesque view of many of the region’s lakes, some of which stretch to the horizon and can be seen clearly on a cloudless day. There’s adequate parking at the trailhead, and the trail itself is well-marked, so you won’t need to drop breadcrumbs. For those in relatively good physical shape, the hike should take about an hour one way. The trail is appropriate for children, but not those confined to a stroller.

The Mount Phillip Trail is a loop trail and can be followed in either direction; counterclockwise is described here. The trail, marked with blue blazes, leaves from the northeast corner of the parking lot heading east and in less than 0.1 miles splits. Bear right to follow the trail counterclockwise. The trail passes though a grove of tall mature pines then heads northwest up Mount Phillip’s eastern slope, gently climbing through a mixed forest of hardwoods and evergreens. It continues up to a rocky ledge on Mount Phillip’s eastern side at 0.6 miles and crosses the ledge westward to a rocky, partial summit clearing (755'). After enjoying views of Great Pond to the south and the Kennebec Highlands to the west, continue the loop trail by descending to the west, then turning in a southerly direction and dropping down into a stand of mature hemlock. Follow the trail back to the junction and the parking lot.
