Come Celebrate and Enjoy the Spectacular Katahdin Region
In the spiritual traditions of the Penobscot Indian people, Mt. Katahdin is so sacred that it would be sacrilegious for one of them to climb to the top of the mountain. They believe that the highest god in their spiritual system, Glukab sent the lower angry god, Pamola to Pamola Peak for eternity because of his bad behavior. This legendary region captures the minds and hearts of visitors each year. Once you visit, you’ll want to return. The Katahin Region consists of the towns of Medway, East Millinocket, Millinocket, Patten and Sherman. In addition to excellent accommodations, fine dining and entertainment there is the Ambejejus Boom House on Ambejejus Lake which displays an excellent selection of driving memorabilia and the Millinocket Historical Society Museum which displays many aspects of the area’s unique history. Recreational opportunities abound from hiking in Baxter State Park to white water rafting on the Penobscot River or fly fishing on one of the region’s many remote ponds and streams. A camera is an essential item to preserve your adventure. u
