Moosehead Moments: Why This Corner of Maine Feeds the Soul!
By AmberLee “Maine Moose Gurl”
When people think of Maine, they often picture lobster rolls and lighthouses—but I’ll let you in on a little secret: the best parts of the state are tucked up here, in the untamed north. This is Moosehead Lake country. Where moose once outnumbered people, history sleeps in the hills, and moose tours in Maine turn into memories that stick like pine sap on your boots.
This blog is part guidebook, part love letter to the North Woods. Stick around if you’re into loons, legends, and lakeside magic – you’ve found your spot.
Where the Wild Things Really Are
Discover why Moosehead Is Maine’s Moose Capital
Maine has one of the largest moose populations in the United States. Around Moosehead Lake, they don’t just pass through—they own the place. Whether it’s a roadside sighting at dusk or a quiet encounter near a bog, moose watching tours here feel downright magical.
That’s why our moose safaris in Maine aren’t just nature rides—they’re moments. We’ve had guests tear up, laugh out loud, and completely forget what day it is. (Happens to me a lot, too—especially during rut season.) Curious what it’s like? Check out our wildlife tours here—they’re kind of our thing.
Mount Kineo: A Granite Giant with a Storied Past
Mount Kineo
History, geology, and falcons overhead.
Mount Kineo rises from the lake like it’s keeping secrets. Long before the first tourists arrived, Native tribes traveled here for rhyolite – rock perfect for stone tools. In the 1800s, the lavish Mount Kineo House drew steamboats packed with vacationers and dignitaries.
And while some folks like to imagine Edgar Allan Poe might’ve found his spooky muse here (I mean, it’s got the fog for it), it was Henry David Thoreau who actually made the trip. He left us this beauty:
“If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather…” — Henry David Thoreau, The Maine Woods
And honestly? I think he nailed it.
These days, the echoes of dance halls have faded, but if you tilt your head just right, you’ll hear something else: the high scream of peregrine falcons, now nesting once again on those cliffs after decades away. Watching them wheel through the clouds feels like witnessing a comeback story in flight.
The Solemn Silence of the B-52 Crash Site
Haunting history beneath the pines.
Just a few miles from town, on Elephant Mountain, lies a site that stops you in your tracks: the wreckage of a B-52 bomber, frozen in time since 1963. A flight gone horribly wrong. Seven lost. Two survived. The forest keeps its hush here, and visitors—myself included—tread with a deep kind of respect.
Want to hike there yourself? I’ll be sharing trip tips and reflections in an upcoming trail-blog. Until then, I highly recommend reading the Final Mission: The North Woods by Joseph R. Wax before you go. It adds meaning to every step of that somber walk.
Coming Soon: Moosehead Lake, Maine’s Hidden Outposts
Get ready to take the scenic route. In my next blog, we’ll wander through three of Moosehead’s most unforgettable outposts—East Cove Treasures, Jackman Trading Post, and the legendary Kokadjo Trading Post. From chainsaw-carved moose to one-liners on T-shirts, and antiques that whisper stories of the past, these spots are more than shops—they’re time machines dressed in cedar and soul. Stay tuned… you’re not going to want to miss this ride.
Why Moosehead Feeds the Soul
Its not weird-it’s woven.
Moosehead isn’t just wild; it’s stitched together with the best of Maine. The forests hold history. The lake reflects stories. And the silence says more than words ever could.
Whether you’re catching fish, scanning the trees for antlers, or just craving a slower kind of quiet, we’d be honored for our guide service to share the warmth, charm, and wild-hearted welcome that only Moosehead can give. This is one of the most soulful Maine nature tours you’ll find.

May your coffee be strong, your boots dry, and your soul wild.
Your Maine Moose Gurl.
