Rockwood, Maine

About

Moosehead Lake, New England's largest freshwater body, lies at the gateway to the North Maine Woods and offers camping, fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing opportunities. The sheer face of Mount Kineo, with 700-foot cliffs, forms the centerpiece of a spectacular landscape long cherished for its natural beauty and plentiful resources. Moosehead Lake is the headwaters of the Kennebec River and represents a critical hub in a network of traditional canoe routes. The cool, deep waters of the lake are exceptionally clean, drawing boaters in warm-weather months and fishermen at all seasons, with landlocked salmon, native brook trout, and lake trout. Hunters come in search of black ducks, wood ducks, partridge, white-tailed deer, bear, and moose. Birdwatchers visit this area as part of the Maine Birding Trail to hear or see up to 20 species of warblers along with less common boreal birds. The cliffs of Mt. Kineo are home to peregrine falcons, and support a critical breeding site for this endangered species that has been active since 1987.
