Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

• The Kineo Shuttle is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM at the Rockwood Convenience Store, on your left as you enter Rockwood. The golf course clubhouse does take credit cards. 
• The crossing from Rockwood to Kineo takes approximately 10 minutes.
• The Kineo Shuttle does not have a ticket booth; you will be paying the captain in cash as you board. 
• The shuttle will accommodate 30 passengers; the captain may elect to carry fewer passengers in rough weather. If for any reason there are more passengers waiting to board than can be safely ferried across on a scheduled trip, the shuttle will return immediately for those left behind. 
• When you step off the docks on Kineo you are at the trailhead for the Mt. Kineo State Park hiking trails. To hike to the observation tower at the top of Mt. Kineo and back to the docks via the Bridle Trail and Indian Trails takes approximately 2 – 2.5 hours. If you choose to go down the North trail from the tower, it becomes a 4-5 hour hike. 
• The golf course does not rent golf carts for sightseeing. They are only rented to golfers, per the request of the Kineo Community Owners Association, and they cannot leave the course. 
• The golf course and cart paths are not hiking trails. 

Follow along and I am sure one of “these facets” will spark your interest to visit this wonderland:

–>Incredible scenery in every direction–this becomes immediately obvious to anyone who researches or visits the area.  Whether you are on top of one of our many mountains or on the lake itself…you will be astounded by the beauty that surrounds you!

–>Town of Greenville—the quaint little town is chock-full of gift shops, “one-of-a-kind restaurants”, varied lodging choices & two small parks (where you can savor the ice cream cone you just purchased!)

–>Historic Steamboat “The Katahdin”–this restored boat sails up Moosehead Lake starting on June 21st

–>Outdoor activities for every level–so much to do, regardless of your level of expertise.  There are hikes that are easy  to

challenging; canoeing; kayaking; snowmobiling; snow-shoeing;  skiing; dog sledding; ice fishing; ATV riding; fishing & white water rafting.

–>Three (3) Sea Plane Bases–this is truly the best way to take in the immense size of Moosehead Lake..it is, after all, 40 miles long with over 70 islands!

–>Wildlife Viewing–the #1 reason guests visit the area is to view our most popular resident….the moose!  In early Spring, they can be seen on the sides of roads eating the new, salty grass.  In the summer, hiring a Maine Registered Guide is highly suggested…they know all the secrets spots where the moose hang-out!

–>Waterfalls–so many waterfalls that a website and guide were created (you can do this activity year round).

–>Four Seasons of Things to Do–the area has something to do every season!

It is easy to understand why Moosehead Lake is truly a jewel!! 

Come see this jewel!!

This year it is March 24th

In New England, maple sugaring is the first sign that spring is on its way!  Maine is one of the very few places where the sap from a maple tree can be tapped and then turned into maple syrup.

This is part of what makes Maine and Maine Maple Syrup so special.

Maple sap cannot be harvested just anywhere there are maple trees.  Certain weather conditions are necessary in order for the sap to flow properly for harvesting. The required pressure level needed to get the sap flowing is created when the tree freezes and thaws. Thus, warm days and cold nights make for optimum maple sugaring conditions.

When the pressure from a maple tree thawing reaches a certain level, sap is collected. This pressure allows the sap to flow from the small holes that are made to collect the sap.

Most of the sap is still gathered the old-fashioned way, in buckets hung from trees, and boiled down to syrup over wood fires. Many of the larger producers use labor saving modern technology. They gather the sap with plastic tubing strung all the way from the trees, gravity fed to the “sugar house”.

Once the sap flows from the tree, the sap must be processed within a few hours or it will spoil, therefore syrup makers work around the clock.

From holding tanks (which may hold as much as a thousand gallons), the freshly collected sap (usually about 3% sugar) is fed continuously into the evaporator. There it is kept constantly boiling as it becomes more concentrated. When the syrup reaches a temperature of 7 degrees above the boiling point of water, the sugar-density is perfect.  Immediately, the syrup is filtered to remove particles of “sugar sand.” These, although harmless, would make the syrup cloudy. After it is clear, the finished syrup is packed in sterilized containers and sealed, ready to be enjoyed around the world.

The syrup is sometimes dark and rich, or sometimes pale, gold and delicate.  Similar to wine, much depends on the soil composition and terrain, as well as the wind and the weather.

It takes approximately 40 years for a sugar maple tree to reach tapping size. In a good year, one large tree may produce as much as 60 gallons of sap without suffering any injury. That may seem like quite a lot, until you realize that the sap will be reduced to only about 1½ gallons of syrup!

Maine Maple Sunday is when Maine maple producers open their doors to the public to demonstrate maple syrup making.   Enjoy this experience personally with free samples of maple syrup on ice cream, mini pancakes and muffins, maple candy, door prizes and much more at some of Maine’s best maple syrup producers.

Smell the aroma as boiling sap fills the air and is transformed into sweet Pure Maine Maple Syrup!
