| Location Details: | Nestled among scenic mountain ranges, Moosehead Lake in Maine is the largest lake east of the Mississippi contained within one state. Moosehead Lake's island studded waters stretch as far as the eye can see, and are surrounded by vast forested wilderness. Located at the doorstep of Maine's great north woods, the Moosehead Lake region is steeped in history. Today, Moosehead Lake is quietly becoming the destination for eco-tourists, nature lovers, and those seeking a refuge from the bustle and stress of their busy lives. Our pristine waters draw those wishing to explore nature. Experience the wonders of the Moosehead Lake Region by kayak or canoe; go fly fishing; relax on a scenic cruise on the historic steamship Katahdin; or feel the adrenaline rush of shooting the rapids on our world class white water rafting rivers. Landlocked salmon, lake trout, brook trout, and cusk provide the principal fisheries which have attracted anglers for many years. Natural reproduction maintains the lake trout, brook trout, and cusk populations. Although annual salmon stocking contributes to the fishery, wild salmon produced in the tributaries comprise approximately half of the catch each year. Moosehead Lake’s major tributary is the Moose River. | |||||||||||
