Look for a Moose. We were lucky. We found one. Be careful, a Moose can be just as effective as a wrecking ball to your car.

A great area to view Moosehead Lake with mountains in the background. There are camping facilities here. This is a perfect spot for going out on the boat and fish all day.

 myfuninthesun Says:  We didn't have reservations but we were lucky and stayed in one of their cottages. Being from Florida, i really didn't expect them to have AC in this part of Maine, but they did. We really didn't need it at night since it was pretty chilly. It had everything we needed. There...

 GingerAndKarl Says:  The Sunrise Lodge on Loon Lake (aka Wilson Pond) has a private dock with canoes, which are brought in after Oct. 15th or so. We arrived in late Oct. and the weather was horrible, but we had a great time anyway. The view is spectacular from every room in the cabin, with floor...

Lodge at Moosehead Lake: Ask for the Alcove at the Lodge at Moosehead Lake

The view from the entire dining room is absolutely breathtaking. The food and service are top notch. Go downstairs for a drink first - or after - and shoot some pool. I enjoyed the Mooseheart cocktail - vodka, cranberry juice, grenadine, triple sec, champagne. Ask for Bruce, the owner, and if we're not sitting at it, the table for two in the alcove (very cozy and romantic). We're from Philadelphia, so are used to excellent dining (Rose Tatoo, Le Bec Fin, Tequilas) and the Lodge is right up there. Not cheap - but then, it was soooo very worth it. We plan on going back very soon.

Favorite Dish: The beef tenderloin was outstanding, as were the sea scallops. The fresh tomato salad was also to die for.

Until a few years ago, you could take a train here, but only to Canada, not to the rest of the US.

Alas, no passenger trains anymore....

Take the toll road through the woods east of Greenville, and reach this wonderful monument of industrial archaeology.

Take a plane ride over the lake. I personally did not do this. But it was an intriguing idea. There are plane rides available to tourists.

Moose

Favorite thing: The local lake is not called for nothing Moosehead Lake.
To have a sure sighting of moose, drive along the forest road in the late afternoon.
You can drive all round the lake, but it's nearly 100 miles, and you have to pay toll on the road.

Fondest memory: Meeting more moose than cars on a 100 mile trip...
