Mt. Kineo is a premiere hiking destination and park of the "Pinnacle pursuit" challenge, with a stunning 360 view of Moose head lake from the fire tower on the summit. There are no public roads to Mt. Kineo so you'll need to take a boat or water taxi across.
Mount Kineo is a prominent geological feature located on a 1,150-acre (470 ha) peninsula that extends from the easterly shore of Moosehead Lake in the northern forest of Maine. With 700-foot (210 m) cliffs rising straight up from the water, it is the central feature of Mount Kineo State Park, a protected area of 800 acres (320 ha) managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
