Why you should go…
Moosehead Lake is the largest lake in Maine and the largest mountain lake in the eastern United States, set in the mostly undeveloped Longfellow Mountains. It is the source of the Kennebec River and holds more than 80 islands, the largest being Sugar Island. Greenville, at the south end, is the main town on the shore, with a small downtown of shops and restaurants that serves as a basecamp for the lake and the 100-Mile Wilderness.
