A 5.8-mile network of moderate trails, Black Mountain lies in the Donnell Pond Public Reserved Land region between the scenic Donnell Pond and Tunk Lake, popular for water recreation. Here visitors will find numerous hiking trails around the mountain offering beautiful sweeping views of the surrounding Frenchmans Bay and Acadia National Park. Most trails traverse the sides to open up at scenic ledge overlooks. Being an active area of ecological study, it is asked visitors remain on trails to protect the delicate flora found here.
