Fifty miles to the northeast through the tiny
town of Kokadjo and in part on The Golden Road to Baxter State Park towers
the "mile high" Mt. Katahdin. Near Greenville you will find
Big Squaw Mountain - ride the chair lift to the top and hike the trails
3 miles down. Be adventurous - climb Big Spencer Mountain or Elephant
Mountain.
As you travel the back roads, moose watching is a common occurrence. Take the water taxi from Rockwood and climb Mt. Kineo to enjoy a 360 degree view of the Moose River, the East Outlet and West Outlet of the Kennebec River, Rockwood, Seboomook, Moosehead, Little Kineo, Northeast Carry, and almost all of Moosehead Lake from the fire tower at its summit. In Greenville you can cruise aboard the Katahdin, a converted
steamboat from the past. Fly with the bush pilots out of Greenville
or Greenville Junction on a routine fire patrol or spend the day exploring
the shops and dining at one of the many fine restaurants the area has
to offer. |
