Puzzle Mountain is a mountain located in Oxford County, Maine, and is one of the easternmost mountains in the Mahoosuc Range. The mountain also has a false peak to the north-northwest of the true summit, known as Little Puzzle Mountain. Puzzle Mountain is in the watershed of the Androscoggin River.^[2]

Trails

The summit of the mountain can be accessed from the southern trail head of the Grafton Loop Trail. The initial miles of the trail have a relatively low incline and utilize old logging roads for switchbacks. At about two miles, the trail makes a sharp turn to the left, and begins to climb at a steeper grade. At about 2.4 miles, the trail reaches exposed granite boulders and ledges, with views of the Sunday River Ski Area, Grafton Notch, and the distant Presidential Range. The summit of Puzzle Mountain is at 3.2 miles, and provides views in all directions, as far as Sugarloaf Mountain.^{[citation needed]} The total distance to the summit of Puzzle Mountain is 3.2 miles, and it takes approximately three hours and thirty minutes to summit.^{[citation needed]}

The Woodsum Loop, nicknamed the "Loopette Trail", was built to go to the previously unreachable various false peaks of the mountain. The Woodsum Loop feeds into the established Grafton Loop Trail. The total mileage is 7.6 miles, encompassing the entirety of the loop and back.
