Greenville is perched at the wilderness edge of sparsely populated Piscataquis County, only 35 miles north of the county seat, Dover-Foxcroft. Historically, Greenville has been perceived as the gateway to the north woods and, of course, to Moosehead Lake, the largest body of fresh water in the state.
Located north of the 45th parallel, on a line with Montreal, Greenville climatically and vegetatively has more in common with the northernmost United States and southern Canada than it has with southern Maine.
- 75 miles northwest of Bangor on the shores of Moosehead Lake
