Location and Travel

Greenville sits at the southern tip of Moosehead Lake in the heart of the Maine woods — about 70 miles north of Bangor and 150 miles north of Portland. It is remote by design. The drive in on Route 15 through Guilford and Monson gives you a good sense of where you're headed. By the time you reach Greenville, you'll understand what Forest Heritage Days is about before you've attended a single event.

Plan your route through Bangor if you're coming from out of state. From Bangor, take I-95 north to Route 11, then Route 15 north to Greenville. GPS works, but cell service gets spotty as you get closer — download your directions before you leave.

Where to Stay

Greenville has a good selection of lodging for a town its size — inns, motels, sporting camps, lakefront rentals, and traditional camps. Forest Heritage Days draws people from across the region, so we recommend booking early. For a full list of accommodations, visit the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce at mooseheadlake.org.
