Black Cap Mountain is a 1,020 foot (310 m) mountain in Penobscot County, Maine, United States.[1] The mountain is 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Eddington, Maine, and the Penobscot River.[2] It is accessible from Maine Route 46, near its intersection with The Airline (State Route 9).
The mountain is named for its granite peak, which is mostly bare with a few scrubby trees. From the mountain there is a panoramic view of western Maine, the Western Maine Mountains, and the eastern portion of the White Mountain National Forest.[3]
