It’s home to loons, an array of waterfowl and songbirds, hawks, and bald eagles, moose, deer, otter, beaver and many other species. Mount Kineo, located about a mile across from Moosehead Lake from Rockwood, towers 800 feet above the water. Rich in history and folklore, Kineo is a great day-trip for many Cozy Moose guests. A ferry provides transportation to the mountain, where you can enjoy hiking or play a round of golf on a scenic course.
