At a glance
Overview
Windy Pitch is a dramatic pitch on the West Branch Pleasant River in T3 R10 WELS, deep inside the 100-Mile Wilderness and the Katahdin Iron Works / Gulf Hagas corridor of Piscataquis County. It sits upstream of the well-known Gulf Hagas gorge and is reached via the KI Jo-Mary Forest road network. Treat this as a serious backcountry river feature, not a roadside stop.
