The Katahdin is a historic steamboat that is berthed on Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine. This steamboat was built in 1914 at the Bath Iron Works and has a rich history of serving the tourist trade on the lake before being converted to a towboat for hauling lumber. It was fully restored in the 1990s by the nonprofit Moosehead Maritime Museum and is now again giving tours on the lake.

Cruises and Private Events on Katahdin

Today, the Katahdin offers cruises between June and October. These cruises travel either 12 or 20 miles up the lake, with durations of 3 and 4 1/2 hours. This provides a unique opportunity for tourists to explore Moosehead Lake and the surrounding area. Additionally, the Katahdin is available for hire for private events, making it a versatile option for those visiting the area.
