Town Bio

Clifton, a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on August 8, 1848 under the brazen name of “Maine” from a portion of Jarvis Gore. The current name, from a cliff dominating the town (see the town “seal” on the welcome sign), was adopted only a year later on June 9, 1849.

Clifton is a somewhat isolated town. Fitts Pond in the southwest corner provides water access for Boy Scout Camp Roosevelt located in adjoining Eddington.

There’s a hike on an old forest road and up a steep trail to the rocky summit of a mountain. The exposed granite face of Peaked Mountain, also known as Chick Hill, is visible for miles around. The views from the summit are some of the best in the area.
