Kibby Mountain, Mountain summit in Franklin County, Maine, United States.
Kibby Mountain is a summit in the northern Appalachians near the Canadian border in Franklin County. The peak has rocky slopes and overlooks forested valleys and the surrounding backcountry.
During the 1800s surveyors used the mountain as an observation point to map the Maine-Quebec border. This early work helped establish the boundaries of the wilderness region.
The mountain supports renewable energy development through the Kibby Wind Power Project while maintaining its natural environment for outdoor activities.
The mountain is accessed via the Kibby Mountain Trail and requires good navigation skills due to its remote location. Weather-resistant clothing and sturdy footwear are important since conditions can change rapidly.
The mountain functions as a crucial water divide between several river systems in the region. Water flowing from this point shapes ecosystems across the valley and surrounding areas.
