Kineo Photo Tour

The following are a collection of photographs from a recent trip camping in Kokajo, Maine. Most enjoyable was the mile upon mile of excellent ATV trails and the day hike up the Kineo peninsula. Truly a fantastic trip, highly recommended to anyone looking for a low impact adventure in the Maine wilderness. If you make it to the top and are not afraid of heights, a huge fire tower affords impressive views in all directions! Access is available by water taxi out of Greenville or for those daring enough to brave the logging roads out of Kokajo, a variety of different winding dirt roads weave 18 miles into the backcountry, eventually allowing you to arrive at a boulder blocked road where you can park and walk in the rest of the way. This is an adventure not for the faint of heart, however, if you are not familiar with this area drop me an e-mail and I would be happy to provide more specific directions.

  2. CC, Am curious if/when you visited Kineo? I know there is/was a flight aboard a Dehavilland Beaver offered to the Kineo peninsula years ago. Curious if it is still in service?

  8. PBM, The course has come a LONG way since I first set foot on it about 15 years ago. I no longer golf but for anyone who still swings a club it would be truly a unique golfing experience!
