Scenic Spotlight: Quill Hill

If you're staying at Huck’s and looking for a scenic drive with unforgettable views, put Quill Hill at the top of your list—literally!

Located off Oddy’s Road on Route 16 between Rangeley and Stratton, this 2,848 ft. summit offers a 360º panoramic view of some of Maine’s most beautiful landmarks, including Tim Pond, Rangeley Lakes, Saddleback, Kennebago, Flagstaff, and even the Kibby Wind Power project. It’s a breathtaking spot that's incredibly easy to reach—just a 4-mile ride up a well-maintained dirt road.

What makes Quill Hill especially unique? It’s the only mountain in Maine with a full 360º view that’s accessible by car, bike, ATV, motorcycle, and even includes a 4,000 ft. wheelchair-accessible path connecting two scenic viewpoints. Whether you’re looking to take in the fall colors, enjoy a peaceful picnic, or just snap a few stunning photos, Quill Hill is worth the trip.

📍 Local Tip: Go around sunset for golden hour magic—and don’t forget your camera!
