What is the biggest glacial boulder in Maine?
The largest known glacially transported boulder in Maine is Daggett Rock in Phillips. It is about 80 ft long, 30 ft wide, and 25 ft high, with an estimated weight of 8000 tons! Daggett Rock is a true glacial “erratic,” meaning that glacial ice carried it far enough that it came to rest in a place where the underlying bedrock is different. This giant boulder is believed to have traveled many miles from its source in the Saddleback Mountain area.
