Mount Kineo, Mountain summit in Moosehead Lake, Maine, United States.
Mount Kineo rises 800 feet from Moosehead Lake with steep cliffs on one side and gentler slopes covered in maple and birch forests on the other.
The Mount Kineo Hotel, constructed in 1848 and rebuilt multiple times, became the largest inland waterfront hotel in America by 1884.
Native American tribes traveled across New England to extract rhyolite from Mount Kineo, using this volcanic rock to create tools and arrowheads.
Access to Mount Kineo State Park requires a boat journey from Rockwood, with regular shuttle services operating during summer months across Moosehead Lake.
The mountain contains one of North America's largest formations of rhyolite, featuring 700-foot cliffs that drop directly into Moosehead Lake.
