Or, visit other nearby destinations like Gulf Hagus.

Be prepared to be amazed at the history you will learn about and experience as you explore Kineo. From the indigenous people mining for "flint", to the grand hotels that stood next to our lodge, there is much to learn firsthand.

Go moose watching in the evening, but be prepared to see fox, bear, deer, porcupine, and beavers. We have seen them all on Kineo as the Mount Kineo State Park has much wilderness in walking distance of the lodge.

There is nothing like hole #4, a par 3 that requires you to execute a perfect shot over a scenic pond to land your golf ball on the green. Your backdrop to this challenging hole is a 700 foot cliff wall flanked by views of Moosehead Lake.
Friendships

Friendships
We have regular visitors that come every year; play the golf course, stay at The Oak Lodge, and have become more than guests, they are now more like our extended family!
More on Boating
Power Boating
Bring your boat and use our dock, or go rent a boat at the Moosehead Marina or the Birches Resort. In addition to power boats, you will see others use wave runners and pontoon boats.
Tubing, Wake Boarding, and Skiing
The lake is enormous. Go find a wind protected cove and water ski or wake board. But the most popular activity, is taking advantage of the choppy water areas and taking kids for a thrilling tube ride!
Sometimes Chillin' is the Way to Go!
But not all lake enthusiasts like speed. Canoeing and kayaking is enjoyed along the shore or right off our back porch. We have two kayaks and a canoe available for guest use.
