Kineo

Mount Kineo rises steeply from a peninsula on Moosehead Lake, its cliffs towering above the water. The mountain contains a distinctive volcanic rock, rhyolite, which Indigenous people travelled long distances to obtain. Often called Kineo flint, the stone could be worked into arrowheads, hatchets and other tools. Implements made from it have been found across New England and farther south, evidence of the wide reach of this inland source.
