Doubletop Mountain is a mountain located in Piscataquis County, Maine, in Baxter State Park.

As the name implies, the mountain has two peaks; a north peak ({{convert|3489|ft|abbr=on|disp=or}}) and a south peak ({{convert|3455|ft|abbr=on|disp=or}}). From the north a trail from the Nesowednehunk Campground to the north peak is {{convert|3.1|mi}} long and another {{convert|0.2|mi}} to the south peak. From Foster Field, to the south, a {{convert|4|mi|adj=on}} trail leads to the summit. The last third of mile ({{convert|0.33|mi|disp=output only}}) is steep and climbs about {{convert|900|ft}}.[3] The north peak is wooded while the south peak is more open.

Beneath one of the peaks, set in the rock, is a south facing bronze memorial tablet which reads:

KEPPELE HALL

JUNE 10, 1872—APRIL 25, 1926

HIS ASHES WERE GIVEN TO THE WINDS

AT THIS PLACE AUGUST 20, 1926, AT

SUNSET, BY HIS WIFE.

Keppele Hall's wife, Fanny Hall, was the first American woman to serve as foreman of a grand jury.[4]
