History: At Northwest Carry (Seboomook), the West Branch of the Penobscot River comes very close to Moosehead Lake. A wooden dam was constructed at Seboomook Falls in 1913 and operated until 1927. A sluiceway for the passage of logs from the waters of the West Branch of the Penobscot River into the head of Moosehead Lake was dug from Carry Pond to the northwest inlet stream (Carry Brook) and was filled with water from a dam in Carry Brook.

Timber from the upper part of the West Branch was sorted by booms at Seboomook Dam then sluiced by conveyors through Carry brook and into Moosehead Lake where it could be boomed and towed down the lake to East Outlet. Then the logs were driven down the Kennebec River to lumber mills and manufacturing plants all along the Kennebec.

Pittston Farm is approximately 13 miles west from Seboomook Wilderness Campground and is located at the forks of the north and south branches of the great West Branch of the Penobscot River.

Pittston offers an evening buffet in the main lodge and you may visit their museum and walk through their barn. A pleasant place to take small children.

Mount Kineo,  which is 1,789 feet above sea level is in the middle of Moosehead Lake. Its face thrusts 800 feet directly up from the shoreline, and is well known for its abundance of flint. Sitting as it does on the shore opposite of the small town of Rockwood, Kineo can be difficult to get to. The most direct way to Kineo is by boat. The Kineo Shuttle leaves every hour from the public boat landing in Rockwood. A small fee is charged to shuttle you to and from Kineo.

You may launch a boat or you may take the shuttle at the landing (leaves every hour) across the lake to Kineo. Once at the Mountains face the hiking trail is about 2 to 4 miles round trip, and the trailhead begins at the Kineo landing.
