Shagg Crag Rock Climbing

From the south (starting at Norway, ME):

Take Rte. 26 towards West Paris and turn right (east) onto Rte. 219.

After 4.8 miles, turn left (north) onto Tuell Hill Rd. Follow Tuell Hill Rd. 1.7 miles where you turn left to continue on Tuell Hill Rd. and not continue onto Heath Hill Rd., Tuell Hill Rd continues until it dead-ends into Redding Road just after a bridge. Reset your odometer at the bridge and turn left (west) onto Redding Road.  At 3.9 or 4.0 miles there is an obvious pullout on the left. Park here; the trail starts on the other side of the road, which is marked as Little Concord Pond State ParkTrailhead and is easily found on Google Maps.

DO NOT turn right on North Shore Rd at the bottom of the hill- it is a private, dead end road.

DO NOT leave your trash, leave your bowel movements or camp in the parking lot.  The parking lot is privately owned (not part of the state park and the owner does not appreciate the state of it, whether or not it is climbers doing this).  

Follow the trail for about 10 minutes until you come to a pond and a trail junction (the left fork goes to the pond, the middle fork contours east around the pond to an amazing rock to jump off after your hot day of climbing, the right fork heads up a steep ridge/hill marked by a green sign 'Bald/Speckled Mountain'. Take the right fork up the hill for 15-20 minutes until you reach a fork in the trail, immediately before a steeper section of the trail.  Take the right hand fork (a small rock cairn here denotes the climbers path), and follow this through the woods for another 10 to 15 minutes until you’re deposited in front of the cliff. If you miss this turn, you'll continue for 10 minutes to the summit. Total hiking time is roughly 30 minutes.
