Venture into The Maine Highlands for exciting experiences like geocaching in varied environments, hiking the deep gorges of Gulf Hagas, or scaling the heights of Katahdin. Enjoy rail trails, hidden waterfalls, and the Moosehead Pinnacle Pursuit.
Mount Kineo is an 800 foot mountain of rhyolite that rises dramatically from the deepest portion of Moosehead Lake. This was a location known well to the Native Americans who traveled great distances to Kineo for the hard rock with flint-like qualities that was used for tools and arrowheads.
A rail trail is an old, unused railway that has been converted into a multi-use path. These abandoned railways are typically flat and long—perfect for walking, cycling, and horseback riding in the warmer months and cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months. Some trails allow for ATVs and snowmobiles.
