Moosehead Lake Welcome to the gateway to Maine's great north woods. The Moosehead Lake region invites you to experience natural splendor, rich history and genuine hospitality. Moosehead, Maine's largest lake, and the surrounding communities have been welcoming visitors "from away" since the earliest days of our country. Immortalized in prose by Henry David Thoreau in the 19th century, this is a place that continues to inspire with its beauty and excite with its wild nature. From the days of grand hotels and Victorian era train travel, to today's eco-friendly tourists, the Moosehead Lake region has been a refuge from the bustle of city life and a place to reconnect with the wilderness. If you can do it in the outdoors, you can do it in the Moosehead Lake region. Mountain climbing, serious (or casual) hiking, kayaking, fly-fishing, recreational boating, ice fishing, camping; the list goes on and on. Cruise on an historic steamship. Behold the wonder of it all from above in a seaplane. Watch the sun set over the seemingly endless horizon of water at a first class restaurant. One visit and you'll understand why so many people make this their destination for a lifetime. To learn more about the Moosehead Lake region, visit their web site at www.mooseheadlake.org .
