The Moosehead Region
The Moosehead Lake Region is located in central western Maine. It is situated in western Piscataquis County and northern Somerset County. Bordering the North Maine Woods, Moosehead Lake and the area around it is teeming with wildlife and natural resources. Local hiking trails allow visitors access to scenic views from mountain tops, lake shores and waterfalls. The Kennebec River offers whitewater enthusiasts the longest continuous stretch of rapids in Maine. The lakes, rivers and streams in the region are known by anglers for their native Maine brook trout and salmon fishery. Wilderness lodges dot the shores of the area lakes, where Registered Maine Guides escort their sports on hunting, fishing and wilderness expiditions. Winter is an active time in the Moosehead Region as deep snow leads to traditional northern Maine winter adventures of snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and ice fishing.

The area is rich with the history of Native Americans who had settlements around Moosehead Lake. Settlers came to the region in the late 1700's to log the area forest. Many communities sprang up in the Moosehead Region over the next 100 years: Greenville, Rockwood, Jackman, Shirley Mills, Monson, Kokadjo, Lily Bay, Seeboomook, Northeast Carry, Long Pond and Beaver Cove are a few.
