Daggett Rock, the largest glacially transported erratic in Maine is an awe-inspiring natural wonder located in Phillips. Daggett Rock measures 80 feet long, 30 feet wide and 25 feet high and is estimated to weigh 8,000 tons. This massive granite boulder with feldspar crystals likely originated from the Saddleback Mountain area. Geological evidence shows that Daggett Rock split when it was deposited where it now sits thousands of years ago. It is easily accessible via a short, rocky trail with an incline from Wheeler Hill Road.
