207-564-7533 3 Welcome, There are so many beautiful destinations around the globe; when planning a vacation, sometimes it can be difficult to decide where you want to land. From tropical-island-getaways to big city experiences – everyone craves something specific when they want to escape the daily grind for a while.
So, what is so special about Piscataquis County? If you’ve never been here, it will be impossible to understand. There’s a lifeforce here – it’s in the air, it’s in the people; it brings with it an experience that clears the mind, calms the heart, and rejuvenates the spirit. In the heart of central Maine, away from the crowds, the traffic, and the busyness of life, Piscataquis County is enveloped by nature and infused with possibility. It’s time to unplug – to give your soul the reprieve that it’s begging for. Camp out under stars so close you’ll swear you can touch them. Rest in a hammock while gazing upon lakes so majestic, they’ll take your breath away. Take a kayak out alone or enjoy white-water rafting with your family. Grab your buddies and hike the Appalachian Trail right through our county or break out the mountain bikes to cover more terrain; and maybe, if you’re really lucky, you’ll stumble across one of Piscataquis’s hidden waterfalls – over 100 have been cataloged in Southern Piscataquis alone! Rent a cabin on Sebec Lake - fish all day or rent an ATV and dig in to our trails. The choice is yours. There’s no schedule, no pressing agenda – just you and nature – and nothing but time.
If you’re here during the winter months, you may want to try ice-fishing for the first time, or rent a snowmobile, or grab your skis and hit the slopes. In every season- for any reason, Piscataquis is the perfect getaway.
Looking to reconnect with your family? This is the place to do it. In addition to the countless outdoor adventures you can experience together, Piscataquis has county-wide festivals and community events, like the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival in June, or the Piscataquis Valley Fair in August.
This is the stuff memories are made of and now’s the time to make them.

38 piscataquischamber.com A few places to go and things to do:
Peaks Kenny State Park Take in the beauty of our lakes and parks On the shores of Sebec Lake, offering day visitors and campers a peaceful, wooded setting in which to enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and picnicking. With 56 sites set among stately trees and large glacial boulders near the lake, the campground fosters quiet and private enjoyment of a beautiful natural setting. The 839-acre park is located six miles north of Dover-Foxcroft on the South Cove of Sebec Lake. State Park Reservations Office 207-624-9950 or www.campwithme.com.
Moosehead Lake Located in Greenville, Moosehead is Maine’s largest and most majestic lake, and is the largest mountain-lake in the eastern United States. The best way to see the lake in its entirety and to enjoy its natural beauty is to take a cruise on the historic Katahdin Steamboat. Mount Kineo, with 700-foot cliffs rising straight up from Moosehead Lake, has attracted visitors for centuries. The Moosehead region includes the headwaters of the Kennebec, the West Branch of the Penobscot, the Piscataquis, the Pleasant, and the Saint John rivers, and is home to Lily Bay State Park. The region has a large moose population; moose outnumber people three to one! While visiting the lake, visitors enjoy the town of Greenville, with many boutiques, shops, and restaurants to satisfy. For more information, call the ML RCOC at 207-695-2702.
The B52 Crash Site on Elephant Mountain See something historic East of the southern tip of Moosehead Lake, Elephant Mountain rises 2,636 feet above sea level and vaguely resembles an elephant’s head, sans tusks.

It is the county’s premier business center, and has the highest population in the county. Recently celebrating it’s 95th Anniversary, Dover-Foxcroft has experienced exciting changes and growth over the past half-decade, such as the redevelopment of the Mill, formerly Moosehead Manufacturing, which sat abandoned and empty for many years, now home to residential apartments, offices, an event space, a café, and a 6-room boutique-style hotel overlooking the Piscataquis River. We recently celebrated the grand re-opening of The Commons at Central Hall, which offers beautiful event space for our local communities. Soon, a state-of-the-art ice arena will be added to the town, adding jobs and activities for our young people to enjoy. New businesses are continually sprouting, and a wave of younger families are moving in.

Improvements happening everywhere – such as The Harrigan Learning Center & Museum (pictured below), and the Milo/Brownville & Points North Visitor Center. Most recently, a re-awakening at the old Derby Railyards, as Central Maine and Quebec Railway invested over 7 million dollars to take an abandoned railcar service station and completely rebuild it with innovation nearly impossible to find elsewhere.

44 piscataquischamber.com 207-564-7533 45 Sometimes big things happen in small places. Monson, Maine is such a place. A beautiful, rural town found on the shores of Lake Hebron, where a little over 700 people reside. Recently, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested in this small community by the Libra Foundation, a philanthropic group also behind Maine’s Pineland Farms, who purchased multiple dilapidated properties and the town’s community center with the goal of creating an artists’ colony, re-affirming Monson as the type of idyllic place artists want to be. The town’s reconstruction comes with a plan – an artist residency program named Monson Arts, offering month- long residencies and shorter intensive workshops to artists and authors, including attractive new studio space to work in and housing for those who enter the program. Eventually, this once aging community will become a hot spot for young talent, transformed by the power of art.
New life means new businesses, more jobs, and a stronger economy for this community, already loved by year-round and seasonal residents, vacationers with
46 piscataquischamber.com cabins on Lake Hebron or those passing through to Moosehead Lake, and; hikers – who encounter Monson as the last stop on the Appalachian Trail before embarking on the One-Hundred Mile Wilderness, a remote stretch of trail situated between Monson and Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park.
