Snowshoeing up Mount Kineo is a glorious adventure that requires extra planning

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 12, 2021

Rising above Moosehead Lake on an isolated peninsula, Mount Kineo is one of the most distinctive landmarks in the region — and one of the most famous mountains in Maine. A hiking trail traces the top of some of these cliffs, leading to stunning views of the Moosehead Lake — Maine’s largest body of fresh water — and mountains beyond. A large observation tower reaches above the forest to offer an open 360-degree view of the region.
