Tumbledown Mountain, Mountain summit in Franklin County, Maine, US
Tumbledown Mountain is a summit in Franklin County with an elevation around 3,054 feet, featuring multiple peaks with steep cliff faces and a natural pond situated near the highest point. The area is accessed through a network of hiking trails that vary in difficulty and route.
The area was originally home to Native American groups before settlers marked trails through the region during the 1800s. Some of the walking routes follow routes of earlier forest paths and logging roads.
The mountain serves as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts from the region who value its network of walking routes and the chance to reach alpine terrain within their state.
The two main trails offer different levels of difficulty, with one following forest paths to the pond at elevation and another crossing exposed ridge lines. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and slippery ground after rain.
The name comes from the fractured appearance of the summit landscape, which looks tumbled and broken, and many visitors miss the smaller waterfalls hidden in the ravines below the main trails. These hidden falls are especially notable during months with higher water flow.
