Macwahoc is a small plantation on the southernmost tip of Aroostook County. The name “Macwahoc” means “bog” in the native inhabitants’ tongue. It was originally part of neighboring Molunkus until 1851.

In town, it is here that the Pine Tree Trail makes its first of two major splits as the Trail pushes onward to the top of Maine. After the first split in the Trail in Macwahoc, it takes the traveler through heavily wooded and sparsely populated forested areas heading toward Houlton.
