There are several peaks named Blueberry Mountain, but the one that is the subject of this report is the 2,890 ft. peak located near Weld, Maine.
There were no maintenance issues on this trail on the day of my hike.
If you use the Maine Trail Finder website (http://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trail/blueberry-mountain-trail/), be aware of one typo, the website currently lists the hike as being 2.4 miles round-trip. It's actually a 4-mile round-trip hike (as is correctly stated in AMC's Maine Mountain Guide).
For the first 0.25 mile (about a 10-minute walk) the trail's corridor follows a road that has been chewed up by logging equipment. When I was there, this short segment was marked with blue flagging to guide you.
Some photos from this hike are at my BLOG (see link below).
