surrounding woods and thrill at the sight of
plentiful deer, moose and even an occasional
bear. Hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing
are favorite activities. You can take a
leisurely walk, ski or snowshoe down a quiet
wooded trail or, a challenging climb up nearby
Mt. Kineo to a spectacular view of Moosehead
Lake and Mount Katahdin.Just a short boat ride,
kayak or canoe paddle from our dock, the 4 mile
Socatean Stream is a nature lover’s paradise.
You can usually spot moose, deer, bald eagles
and countless smaller animals as you explore
this exciting spot.
Hiking and Biking
- Aside from the many regional places to hike
and explore, our well marked trails originating
from Tomhegan offer a chance to get out into the
woods and explore without getting lost. Walking
or biking the endless miles of remote woods
roads gives you an opportunity to see wildlife,
pick berries, take pictures or just enjoy the
great outdoors.
Climb Mount Kineo, take a boat to the base of the
mountain and climb to the fire tower. Beautiful! One
of the most popular attractions on Moosehead Lake is
Mt. Kineo. Hiking at Mt Kineo is breathtaking -

golf course to play.
Beaches -
There are many pebble beaches on Moosehead Lake
to explore and enjoy. Just two coves north of
our marina dock, is a beautiful secluded one and
just south, is one that is just a short trail
walk from your cabin or the lodge. Rent a
canoe, kayak or boat, pack a picnic lunch and
enjoy the day exploring the Lake to find your
own private beach.
Whitewater rafting -
Rockwood is a favorite starting
point for canoeists and white water float trips.
They range in length from one day to several
days. The Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers offer
the most challenging and picturesque white water
in the East. Every bit as challenging as Idaho's
Salmon or the Colorado Rivers, these exciting
trips can be arranged for you through our
Managers.

private hideaway for newlywed couples.
Diana's Gravesite -
