Mansell Mountain is located on Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park. By normal standards it’s not an especially high peak, but it is one of the taller mountains within the park at 949 feet. The mountain is granite with a pink to gray/green color and features a weathered dome shape. Its height ensures there won’t be any altitude problems while also offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, Southwest Harbor, and its neighboring islands. There are numerous trails that can be mixed and matched for hikes that last no longer than a few hours; these include the Great Pond Trail, Western Trail, and Perpendicular Trail. Map
