Pedal & Paddle: The Ultimate 2024 Moosehead Lake Adventure

Ride for a Cause at the Northern Light CA Dean Hospital Bike and Boat Event

Experience the raw beauty of the Maine wilderness like never before! The Northern Light CA Dean Hospital Bike and Boat is more than just a fundraiser—it is a premier summer tradition that brings together cyclists, families, and nature enthusiasts for a day of heart-pumping adventure and breathtaking views.

The Journey: From Forest to Fjord

This unique event offers a dual perspective of the Moosehead Lake region, showcasing its lush forests by land and its sparkling waters by sea.

  • The Ride: Kick off your day with a scenic 19.5-mile bike ride that winds through the pristine Maine woods. The route begins in the heart of Greenville and stretches toward the charming town of Rockwood, offering panoramic glimpses of the lake along the way.

  • The Return: After reaching Rockwood, trade your handlebars for a deck chair. Participants return to Greenville aboard the historic Katahdin Steamship, affectionately known as “The Kate”. It’s the perfect time to relax, enjoy live music from the Josh Guthrie Band, and savor a delicious boxed lunch while cruising the majestic waters.

Impact That Matters: Supporting CA Dean Hospital

Every pedal stroke and every registration fee makes a tangible difference. 100% of the proceeds directly support the CA Dean Hospital Greatest Needs Fund. This vital fund ensures that our rural community continues to receive high-quality, patient-centered care, from emergency services to advanced clinical equipment.
