Old Speck Mountain is a mountain located in Oxford County, Maine. The mountain, the fourth-highest in the state, is the northeasternmost and highest of the Mahoosuc Range, the northeasternmost part of the White Mountains. Old Speck is flanked to the southwest by Mahoosuc Arm, and faces Baldpate Mountain to the northeast across Grafton Notch.
Old Speck is within the watershed of the Androscoggin River, which drains into Merrymeeting Bay, the estuary of the Kennebec River, and thence into the Gulf of Maine. The north and east faces of Old Speck drain into the Bear River, thence into the Androscoggin. The southeast and southwest faces drain into the Bull Branch of Goose Eye Brook, thence into Sunday River and the Androscoggin. The northwest face drains into Silver Stream, thence into Chickwolnepy Stream and the Androscoggin.
The summit of Old Speck is on the southern boundary of Grafton Notch State Park. The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, runs along the Mahoosuc Range, 0.3 mi. (0.5 km) west of the summit of Old Speck.
