Mount Blue State Park

Mount Blue State Park spans 7,489 acres across Franklin County, featuring Webb Lake shores and multiple peaks in the eastern section of the protected area.

The Works Progress Administration initiated the park development in the 1930s, with Maine acquiring the land from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1955.

The park incorporates 136 designated camping sites, fostering outdoor recreation traditions through activities like hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access the park through Route 156, with facilities including hot showers, a sand beach, boat launch, nature center, and Adirondack shelters for group accommodation.

The 2002 expansion added 2,468 acres to the park, incorporating Hedgehog Hill, a 1,298-foot peak that enhanced the recreational opportunities for visitors.
