Maine Moose Watch

People of all ages come to Maine hoping to spot a moose. Maine has more moose per square mile than any other state or province in North America including Alaska.

Below are a few moose "hot spots" in the state. Most experts say the ideal time to see a moose is between mid-May and late July; either early in the morning or late in the afternoon – and be patient. At other times during the year, while hiking or driving in any of Maine’s rural locales, sighting a moose is always a possibility.
Here are a few words of caution: While the moose you spot may appear to be docile, don’t underestimate its ability to do severe damage to your vehicle or person. The moose is a wild animal and you need to treat it with respect. A full-grown moose can weigh more than a thousand pounds.
Some of the areas listed below are on paper company lands. Please be respectful, and remember that logging trucks on these rural, often unpaved, roads have the right of way.
To leam more about the Maine moose, pick up a copy of Maine Moose Watchers’ Guide by Bill Silliker, Jr. It’s available from the author for $12.95 including postage. Write to PO Box 7106, Ocean Park, Maine 04063.
