Mount Tuck is located just west of the Penobscot River, perhaps a mile or so south of the magnificent Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The wooded 565-foot hill straddles the town line between Prospect to the north and Stockton Springs to the south, which claims most of the mountain. The land is owned by Coastal Mountains Land Trust, which purchased the summit area in 2019 and has since acquired most of Mount Tuck. The view eastward over the Penobscot River is a real beauty, taking in Blue Hill Mountain and Wallamatogus Mountain and extending beyond to the familiar rounded profiles of my home mountains on Mount Desert Island, from Cadillac and Sargent to Norumbega and Bernard.
