Many people believe that the name Owl's Head was derived from the contour of the mountains peak said to resemble an owl's head. This conception is refuted by folklore passed down through successive generations from the original settlers families which confirm that this unusual name originated from an Indian tribe who inhabited the area. The "Abenaki" hunted and fished in the local region for their existence. After the death of their greatest chief whose name was OWL, they decided to commemorate his existence and allow his spirit to live forever by naming the local mountain Owl's Head. They believed the mountain's outline resembled the great chief's profile as he lay in a state of repose. 32 years ago the mountain was developed into a recreational area and its' original name was retained to preserve the identity and spirit of the original inhabitants. Similar to the ancient tribe the Owl's Head Development Corporation is providing a tradition of excellence in the recreational activities so that its' "spirit" may endure for eternity. | Vertical Drop: | 1772 ft
