Throughout the warmest time of the year at Green Lake highs are regularly in the 70's, and the nighttime is a bit cooler of course, mostly in the 50's. All through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 20's with temperatures at Green Lake dipping down into the 0's through winter nights. So much fun stuff close to Green Lake, truly mind-blowing.  
   There are some delightful whitewater spots on Tannery Brook River, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Green Lake; Peaked Mountain Trail is a perfect local trail. It's a magnificent idea to stop at Boggy Brook, it's close to Green Lake, and after a long day outdoors Twilite Motel is a splendid spot to spend a night or two.
Green Lake is a good spot of normal rainfall; November is when you get the most rain here, and February is the month with the
 
               least moisture. This lake is so wonderful. If you came to camp Patten Pond Camping Resort is a nice site to do that; if you want to hit the beach, Hales Beach is in the neighborhood. This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Branch Lake Stream offers some splendid whitewater, and delightful hiking is available along the Bald Mountain Trail.
This is a tremendous area for folks who like lakes. Muddy Pond is a lake in the vicinity, and Scotts Neck is very near and is a tremendous site to explore. There's so much to do here at Green Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Branch Lake Camping Area is a delightful spot for that; Dunn Beach is relatively close by if you're in a beach type of mood. Lakes are great; Keisers Pond is a lake that's close to Green Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Blue Hill Trail.

No good fishing in this pond.  Don't waste your time.  No one goes here because it is polluted and no good fishing. Unless you like catching sunnies.  Was run out by a guy named Ed.  For a real pond adventure save your time and money and go nort....

Beech Mountain West Ridge Trail
19 miles away
...y for the occupants of the fire tower on top of the mountain. The fire tower on top, incidentally, is abandoned and barred to entry, but you can still climb up one level to get even better views. And it only makes sense that a mountain with a fire tower on top is going to have great views, which Beech Mountain does. The hiker gets almost a 360 degree view, with the only direction really blocked being to the northwest. Very impressive views of Mansell Mountain and the Western Mountain grouping of mountains is offered to the west. To the northeast you can find a good view of Echo Lake and the higher peaks of the interior of Acadia to the northeast.

All told, this hike is only 0. 7 miles from bottom to top. But, you ascend 759 feet in this 0. 7 miles, which is fairly steep. I'm a 47-year old guy in reasonable hiking shape, and an average hiking pace got me to the top in 43 minutes. The descent took 30 minutes.

In summary, Beech Mountain is a very rewarding short hike. A bit strenuous, but you'll be rewarded with very impressive views, a neat fire tower and in all likelihoo...
