Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Moosehead Lake Public Reserved Land, located in the heart of Maine, encompasses areas surrounding Moosehead Lake, the largest lake in New England. This area offers a vast array of outdoor experiences, from serene walks along the shoreline to challenging hikes up surrounding peaks. The land is characterized by dense forests, rolling hills, and numerous waterways. It provides habitat for diverse wildlife including moose, black bears, and bald eagles.
