Located deep in the Maine Highlands region, Moosehead is the largest lake in Maine and one of the largest natural lakes in the eastern United States. lts irregular shores are surrounded by mountains on all sides, including Mount Kineo's 232-meIre (760{oot) cliffs that plunge directly into the water. lt is a deep lake, known for its world-class brook trout, togue (lake trout) and landlocked salmon fisheries. Finally, it is a historic lake that reflects Maine's past as a fur-trading route, a lumbering centre and a tourist destination. On a recent visit, I was able to sample first-hand why this area is so popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Aboriginal people used Moosehead Lake as a gathering spot for thousands of years-padicularly Mount Kineo, where they found a unique form of flint that was applied in tools and weapons up and down the eastern seaboard. -

Lily Bay State Park, a Haven for Nature Lovers Only Minutes from the Lodge at Moosehead Lake
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lily Bay State Park, a Haven for Nature Lovers Only Minutes from The Lodge at Moosehead Lake Greenville, ME, May, 2009 – Lily Bay State Park, only a few miles north of the Lodge at Moosehead Lake, offers access to some of the best outdoor recreation in the state of Maine. Henry David Thoreau first visited the Moosehead area in 1857. He was a naturalist and writer from Concord, MA and at the core of his being he was a traveler, much by foot but some by boat. Thoreau recognized that the wilderness to be found in the forests of Moosehead was a rarity. Its 925 acres is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts offering visitors an opportunity to view moose, deer, bear, loon, osprey, eagles, hare, fox and beaver in their natural environment. Spectacular mountains serve as a backdrop to the blue waters where, practically unchanged from the days of Thoreau, Lodge guests enjoy hiking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, dog sledding and spectacular fall foliage. The landmark peak in the area, Mt. Kineo, rises abruptly from the middle of the lake. The sheer cliffs of Mt. Kineo tower 800 feet above the water and offer incredible vistas. Lily Bay State Park was donated to Maine by the Scott Paper Company in 1961. It is part of the massive, undeveloped quarter of Maine that includes the Allagash, Baxter Park, and countless miles of logging roads and timberland. “The Lodge at Moosehead Lake provides our guests with a pristine doorway to that final remnant of wilderness. Here they can be pampered and relax, only minutes from the largest undeveloped area east of the Mississippi,” states Linda Bortis, inn owner. -

The Maine Woods
Snowberry Moosehead Lake, from Mount Kineo THE WRITINGS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU THE MAINE WOODS BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON MIFFLIN AND COMPANY MDCCCCVI COPYRIGHT 1864 BY TICKNOR AND FIELDS COPYRIGHT 1892, 1893, AND 1906 BY HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & CO. All rights reserved INTRODUCTORY NOTE THE MAINE WOODS was the second volume collected from his writings after Thoreau's death. Of the material which composed it, the first two divisions were already in print. "Ktaadn and the Maine Woods" was the title of a paper printed in 1848 in The Union Magazine, and "Chesuncook" was published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1858. The book was edited by his friend William Ellery Channing. It was during his second summer at Walden that Thoreau made his first visit to the Maine woods. It was probably in response to a request from Horace Greeley that he wrote out the narrative from his journal, for Mr. Greeley had shown himself eager to help Thoreau in putting his wares on the market. In a letter to Emerson, January 12, 1848, Thoreau writes: "I read a part of the story of my excursion to Ktaadn to quite a large audience of men and boys, the other night, whom it interested. It contains many facts and some poetry." He offered the paper to Greeley at the end of March, and on the 17th of April Greeley responded: "I inclose you $25 for your article on Maine scenery, as promised. I know it is worth more, though I have not yet found time to read it; but I have tried once to sell it without success. -

THE FISHERY First Roach Pond
II. INVENTORY PURPOSE This section provides background information about First Roach Pond, the Plum Creek ownership, and the surrounding area. The purpose is to provide a complete picture of the Concept Plan area, so the Plan can be seen in context, so that the natural and built environment around the Pond itself is understood, and so the existing regulatory framework is documented. In describing present practices and conditions in Part II, and particularly in such subsections as “Forest Resource Management,” “Recreational Resources,” and “Existing Conservation Measures,” Plum Creek does not represent that it or its affiliate companies will maintain such practices or conditions in perpetuity. Those practices and conditions to which the applicant Plum Creek agrees to be bound and upon which Commission approval would be based are set forth only in other sections in this Application. SITE LOCATION First Roach Pond is located wholly within Frenchtown (TAR13WELS), an unorganized township within the jurisdiction of the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission. The township lies directly east of the center of Moosehead Lake, some 16 miles by road north and east of Greenville and Route 6/15. The small village of Kokadjo is on the western outlet of the Pond, on the Lily Bay Road, a tarred road that meets Route 6/15 in downtown Greenville. Newport on I-95, about 60 miles south, is located at the intersection of Route 6/15 and the interstate system. Augusta is some 2½ hours from Kokadjo. North of Kokadjo the Lily Bay Road is unpaved. Nevertheless, Kokadjo marks the fringe of the Moosehead region and the shoreland development associated with it and acts as a gateway of sorts to the West Branch, the Golden Road, Chesuncook Lake, Chamberlain Lake, Baxter State Park, and much of the north woods. -
