A bench at the end of the trail lets you rest in a little meadow with wild blueberries and take in views of Hobbs Pond, Bald Mountain and Ragged Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you depart this idyllic spot and explore an unofficial herd path to the summit, you&#8217;ll find radio towers at the top. Someone had flagged a rough path (with ribbons) over the eastern side of the mountain when I visited. But if you do this, you have to walk back to the parking lot along Route 105. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the small parking area and trailhead on Hatchet Mountain Road, the path begins behind a locked gate. It first follows a shady, wide track&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;an old utilities road perhaps \u2014 to the first view, at 0.3 miles. From here, the path slightly narrows, becoming a bit rockier and ledgier and also sunnier and hotter, as the tree cover thins out. The rock on the mountain is an interesting rust color, at times darkening to blood-red black. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.wixstatic.com\/ugd\/381c99_4fecf1163e144f3eab7efd4a463940ed.pdf\">The wonderful 27-acre preserve<\/a> is protected by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Name origins: According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopehist.com\/Himages\/HD402.html#:~:text=Hatchet%20Mountain&amp;text=Hatchet%20Mountain%20is%20Hope's%20salient,ending%20the%20Wawenock%2DTarratine%20war.\">a 1920 account<\/a>, the mountain&#8217;s name derives from a 1617 truce between two warring Native tribes, the Tarrantines and the Wawenocks. To recognize the peaceful resolution to their fighting, the chiefs buried a hatchet on the side of the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong>From Camden, follow Washington Street\/Route 105 out of Camden to Hope Center. Take a left onto Hatchet Mountain Road and drive just over 1\/2 mile. The small 2-3 car parking lot for the Preserve is located on the right-hand side of the road. The preserve asks that you not back onto Hatchet Mountain Road when you&#8217;re leaving the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.77402%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48393\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet800a\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800a.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800a.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.22598%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"675\" data-id=\"55381\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet-2025a-min\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet-2025a-min.jpeg\" data-width=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet-2025a-min.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"71178\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hacket-hill-red-stone\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hacket-hill-red-stone.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hacket-hill-red-stone.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:32.50226%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48395\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet800c\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800c.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800c.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:32.50226%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48396\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet800d\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800d.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet800d.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:19.26214%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1142\" data-id=\"55382\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet-2025b-min\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet-2025b-min-807x1024.jpeg\" data-width=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet-2025b-min-807x1024.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:15.73335%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"837\" data-id=\"48394\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/hatchet-mountain-preserve-hope\/hatchet\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet.jpg\" data-width=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hatchet.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a quick, moderately steep 0.7-mile trail up switchbacks to a pretty lookout, at roughly ~1,101 feet.
