"Parked at Mount Battie overlook. Took trail down, picked up the Tablelands trail and then Ridge trail. Summited Mount Megunticook and then kept going to Megunticook Mountain via Zeke’s overlook. Retraced my steps and summited Mount Battie. Total distance was 7 miles with 1,351 feet of elevation gain." — Zardoz • Jun 19, 2023

"Started from the Mt Battie Trailhead at the end of Megunticook St. This was a great trail with a lot of rocks to scramble and ledge to get over, with all of the elevation gain in a short half mile. My kid and dog both handled it well. This trail was great fun. The view at the top and the stone tower were added bonuses. This was our first stop on our way to the eventual summit of Mt Megunticook." — mikewilliamsjr • Apr 9, 2017

"My wife and I climbed Mt. Battie for the first time today. Temp. was in the high 80s without much wind, so it was a challenge--but my goodness, was the end worth it! Million dollar view at the top. We went both ways on the Carriage House Trail, which is in excellent condition with only a few muddy spots. One striking feature: we saw more ladyslippers on this trail than we have seen in years--several dozen of the rare flowers in bloom." — Badgerinmaine • May 28, 2016

"We drove up after leaving Agamenticus. By then haze had burned off and views from summit and summit tower were delightful, including both Penobscot Bay and mountains. Edna St. Vincent Millay poem (on plaque) had been inspired by Mt. Battie's views. " — barbaratraver • Jul 8, 2013

"We went up after a morning of rain, and the clouds were still hanging about. The rocks were still very slippery, so every step required a bit of thought. When we made it to the top, the clouds completely masked the view. As we stayed on the top the clouds started to lift and after 15 minutes we could see the hill to the south. The very edge of the bay was also possible to make out through the cloud. As we went down we got below the cloud just before we entered the trees and we got a beautiful view of Camden and the harbor, although we missed the view of the other mountains and the much of the ocean." — Knyx • Jul 27, 2012

"The Sunday before memorial day on vacation in Maine, a group of my friends and me took on Mt. Battie and Mt. Megunticook. My roommate Nick who hasn't done and physical activity and a long time was not happy about the hike. Wanting nothing to do with our hike he still came along anyways and made it to the top of both summits with us. With a good group with us that day which included myself and my three roomates Ryan, Evan, and Nick. Also to accompanied us was Evan's friends from back home Sam, Andy, and Sam which together we seem like a good team. Staying out a head was the game but also waiting up for everyone to make sure that we were all accounted for was also important. The climb to Battie was quick and there was a beautiful view from the top of the tower that was built on top of the mountain. After looking around and getting pictures in, i pointed to a big mountain next to us to let my friends know that we have only started our march to summit. After a quick rally by Evan we started or climb to Megunticook." — elbesto • May 27, 2012
