Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Greenville
Greenville sits at the southern end of Moosehead Lake, and everything here points north. The lake is the largest in Maine, about forty miles long, a huge, island-dotted sheet of water ringed by forest, and the town is the jumping-off point for the whole North Woods. Seaplanes line the harbor, floatplane pilots ferry fishermen and hunters into remote ponds, and the main street has outfitters, diners and a tidy waterfront. It feels like a frontier town that has learned to be hospitable.
