Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons in Maine Details

Maine Peregrine Falcons breeding season extends from mid-March through July or August. Hiking or climbing near nesting peregrines can cause abandonment and death of eggs/young. If adults are away from the nest, eggs or young can become overheated, chilled, or chicks can miss feedings. Be on the lookout for agitated falcons that may vocalize, take avoidance flights, or dive-bomb those that are too close. If you encounter an aggressive peregrine falcon please immediately leave the area, and report incidents to Erynn Call, State Raptor Specialist, MDIFW, erynn.call@maine.gov.

Description

A cliff band made of precambrian gneiss, located above Lower Pond. It has a variety of single pitch sport and trad climbs.

Getting There

Travel west from Eustis on route 27. After the road goes down a steep hill to reach Lower Pond, park at the pullout on the south side of the road, next to utility pole 142. Walk east along the road to utility pole 145. About 40 m right (east) of the pole, take the trail heading up into the woods. At the large talus field continue rightward (following cairns) and then upward to reach the base of the main crag.

To reach the “Two Spires” area, start from the base of the main crag. Follow a trail (marked with cairn) rightward through a small forest to reach the second (smaller) talus field. Hike to the top of this talus field to reach the cliff.
