Fletcher Mountain Aviation

Fletcher Mountain Aviation is a seaplane tour company in Maine, flying from Greenville Junction on Moosehead Lake and from Newport. It flies a Cessna 182 Skylane on floats, and its tours depart from a dock in the Moosehead Lake area. Moosehead is the largest lake in Maine and the gateway to the North Maine Woods.

Its 40 minute Moosehead tour covers the lake's bays and islands and the surrounding mountains. Its longer 100 Mile Wilderness tour flies from Greenville to Mount Katahdin, passing Gulf Hagas, a slate canyon known as the Grand Canyon of Maine, and Baxter State Park. Katahdin is Maine's highest peak and the northern end of the Appalachian Trail.

The company also offers scenic flights in the Katahdin region, seaplane charters into the North Maine Woods, and sportsman's wildlife tours for spotting game such as moose. It offers aerial photography of properties, lakes, lighthouses and parks.

The company says it flies seven days a week in daylight, weather permitting, and markets its tours as family outings. For visitors to the Moosehead region, a floatplane flight is one of the few ways to see the scale of the lake and the remote forest beyond it in a single trip.
