Moosehead Lake, Maine-Fall, moose

My recent visit to the Errol, NH region did provide lots of moose sightings-although most were scraggly and few bulls, which meant few photos. Great time anyways with birds and scenery.

Still not desiring the long drive to Baxter, I've convinced my wife to travel with me to Greenville, Maine at end of September . .before moose huntng season. I know that it might rank second to Baxter for moose photo opps but my wife likes the presence of Bed and Breakfasts and restaurants available with much less driving than to Baxter camping. It alsos offers multiple spots for moose versus fighting crowds at Sandy Stream Pond. It seems there are two key moose viewing regions heading north on each side of this massive lake, then exploring logging roads and paddling remote waters. Seems nicer than looking along roadside mud wallows of Errol or Connecticut lakes for along-highway "tourist" moose.

Any suggestions for this area for staying, finding moose, and not getting lost, are welcome.

Hi Jeff!! I went to Moosehead years ago and had a good time and saw moose in tourist roadside wallows there too. And elsewhere!! If you could have spent more time here a few weeks ago, you would have found more opportuinities. A few days ago I saw a really nice bull in total fog that I managed to get a few shots of before he loped off. And I'm off now to see what I can see.

Make sure you have the most recent Maine Atlas!! It's very good with all the logging roads. Mine is in tatters I use it so much!

Birches Resort is nice and they offer Moose cruises to the northern part of the lake where we saw MANY moose.
