Mount Bigelow, Mountain summit in Franklin County and Somerset County, Maine.

Mount Bigelow extends as a mountain ridge with multiple peaks, including West Peak reaching 4,145 feet and Avery Peak at 4,088 feet.

Major Timothy Bigelow, one of Colonel Benedict Arnold's division commanders, climbed the summit during the 1775 Invasion of Canada for observation purposes.

The Appalachian Trail crosses Mount Bigelow, with the Maine Appalachian Trail Club maintaining trails and operating seasonal backcountry campsites.

The 10,540-acre Bigelow Preserve protects the mountain and surrounding area, offering hiking trails and natural spaces for outdoor activities.

The mountain received National Natural Landmark designation in 1975, preventing the development of a large ski resort on its slopes.
