The Moosehead Marine Museum chronicles the region's logging heritage with surprising wit. Lily Bay State Park offers perfect picnic spots with views that inspired Thoreau. Anglers pursue trophy landlocked salmon while hikers tackle Mount Kineo's dramatic cliff face. In winter, snowmobilers zoom across frozen lakes on trails reaching the edge of civilization.
