If when leaving Greenville you travel up the west side, you will quickly reach Greenville Junction where you may visit local restaurants, taverns or go to the public boat launch and watch the seaplanes depart or land. About thirty miles further you get to the town of Rockwood. A small village which has another public boat launch and picnic area. The Moose River contributes to Moosehead lake at Rockwood. From Rockwood, Mt. Kineo can be seen from several spots. Mt. Kineo looks like half of the mountain fell into the lake.

Definitely check out the logging competition: the chainsaw expertise is sure to amaze and entertain you.
