Table Rock is located in Maine, United States. It has an elevation of 734 meters above sea level.

Table Rock isn't actually a mountain - it's a plateau that's sort of on the way to the summit of Baldpate.
Bobby, Tom, and I did this in the morning on a fairly nice, somewhat clear day. Much better weather than the last time I hiked it, which was in mid-October last fall.
We were surprised to find that there is a $2.00 fee for using the trail through Grafton Notch. In the parking lot by the mountain there is a metal tube you can drop you fee in, though there is no one there checking to make sure you do it. Not all of us had $2.00 with us, because we didn't know the fee was there (I think it's only in effect for part of the year). Please remember to bring your fee - those fees, even though they are on the "honor system" are important to keeping the trails maintained!

Across the road from Table Rock you will find Old Speck, a much more challenging hike. Also, Table Rock is near Screw Auger Falls, (more)
I've taken a group of teens from a church to hike this mountain. It's a nice hike, because it doesn't take all day, and the views at the top are worth the climb. If it's a nice day, plan on having lunch at the top - makes for a great picnic!
