Moosehead Lake and Lobster!


Moosehead Lake, Maine
Traveling to Moosehead Lake, we actually saw a moose!  She appeared to be a yearling cow.  Unfortunately, she was crossing the road and quickly disappeared into the dense forest before I could even reach for the camera.

We set up camp at Lily Bay State Park and felt fortunate to get one of the two remaining nonreservable campsites.  The campground sits right on beautiful Lily Bay.  We hiked down to the boat dock and let Rox in for a swim.

The next day we visited the small town of Greenville and took advantage of their Laundromat.  With the weather being so warm, we are really going through the clothes!  We also discovered a new and delicious treat… lobster rolls!  We stopped by a small seafood restaurant and had their lunch plate of lobster stew and lobster rolls, chunks of lobster mixed with mayonnaise and served on a roll.  Delicious!

We drove around, looking for vista overlooks and more moose, but they remained elusive.  The largest critters I photographed were a flock of geese.  The search continues...


After a thoroughly enjoyable stay, we leave now for Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine.

  1. Don't know your route, but if you go through Kittery on your way back through - hit up Warren's just before the bridge into Portsmouth. BEST food around.

  2. Thanks so much for the tip, Heather! We're now headed north, as far as the roads will take us... but we'll definitely put Warren's on our future "to do" list!
