toddler friendly crags south and east of Bethel, ME?

Hello, so I am planning a family outing from Winthrop, ME this weekend. I have a 3 year old with me. Is there any crags the one would recommend? After doing a bit of research I am thinking Twitchell Pond, Shagg or Bear Mountain. There is little information on trad/sport routes on Bear Mountain and Twitchell. Could someone help and provide some more info on those two? It'll be several adults to babysit so 2-3 pitch climbs would be fine and hopefully there could be something slabby/juggy to set up something for the little one (she'll climb like 10-15 feet and quit, so it doesn't have to be a real route). Thanks!

Probably splitting hairs, but most likely driving time from Winthrop to Camden will be less than the three places you mentioned. Camden is also far more family friendly and has a variety of climbs suitable for children and adults alike with pretty light approaches.

I was just at Shagg recently (without my son) - it's a reasonable crag for a kid to hang out at, but the approach hike is going to be painful (for you) and there's nothing there that a short toddler is going to be able to climb. There's only a couple moderates there, nothing below 5.8, and the 5.8s aren't exactly jug hauls (relative to the grade). The approach hike is long (30+ min) and steep and you're not going to enjoy carrying a kid up/down.

Quite a bit about twitchell in gerry's book,,casual approach.

Tumbledown Dick in Gilead near Bethel.
Right off the road. Super climbing and a few short walls for the kids.

Thanks guys. I have the Handren book and took a look but don't know if there are any updates on Twitchell Pond. How about Buck's Ledge? Look like it's right off the road and huge.
