If you dare to continue after reaching this spooky summit, there's more to see! Continue from Maiden Cliff Trail to Scenic Trail, which is nearly one mile. This will bring you to the Miller ledges with a beautiful iew of Ragged and Bald Mountains to the west along with a much larger view of the entirety of Megunticook Lake.
From the these ledges, you can continue along the Ridge Trail deeper into Camden Hills State Park or you can return using the Ridge Trail and head for the parking area and the Maiden Cliff trailhead.
