in America.
For many years, water traffic was the main mode of transportation in this
region. Steamboats carried livestock, equipment, supplies and passengers.
The need for Moosehead steamboats waned with the coming of roads.
The last survivor of the fleet, the Katahdin became a towboat hauling
pulpwood rafts. In 1975, she hauled her last log boom across Moosehead
Lake to the East Outlet. Scott Paper Company presented the Katahdin
to the Moosehead Marine Museum in 1977. In 1985, after many
years of devoted work by many, the Katahdin, Queen of the fleet,
once again sailed over the deep waters of Moosehead Lake.

jULIE PORTER-CHASE
Every year, autumn displays brilliant hues of red, yellow and orange. The
typical “leafpeeping” season is from mid-September thru mid-October.
The change in the landscape from the greens of
summer is breathtaking.
There are several scenic loops for those
traveling by automobile. It also happens to be
a very popular time of year for hikers to get the
up close and personal look at autumn’s beauty.
Whatever your mode of transportation may
be, make the Moosehead Lake region the
leafpeeping destination for you!

drives in our area.
