Katahdin Steamboat Cruise on Moosehead Lake
Step aboard the historic steamboat Katahdin for a three hour cruise across Moosehead Lake, the largest lake in Maine. Known affectionately as the Kate, this National Historic Site offers a memorable way to experience the natural beauty of the region while stepping back into an important part of its maritime history.
Built in 1914 by Bath Iron Works, the Katahdin has witnessed generations of change throughout the Moosehead Lake region. Originally built during an earlier era of lake transportation and later converted to diesel power, the vessel now serves as a remarkable connection to the regions past. During the cruise, onboard narration brings the history of Moosehead Lake and the surrounding area to life.
Enjoy the spacious decks while taking in views across the lake, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. Food and refreshments can be purchased from the working galley, including sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks, beer, wine, and gluten free options. Outside food and alcohol are not permitted aboard the vessel.
Your cruise also includes admission to the Moosehead Marine Museum, offering an additional opportunity to discover the maritime heritage connected to the Katahdin and Moosehead Lake. Boarding begins at 12:00 pm, giving guests the chance to settle in before setting out on this historic lake journey.
