History meets the Maine wilderness. On Elephant Mountain, the B-52 crash site memorial honors the crew who lost their lives in 1963. 🏔️

Take a short hike from Moosehead Lake to explore the scattered wreckage and soak in breathtaking views. 🌲 A quiet, powerful reminder of courage, tragedy, and the stories hidden in Maine’s forests.

We would love to welcome you!

❄️If you haven’t experienced Moosehead Lake in the winter, you are 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮 missing out. This is the season when the entire region transforms into a quiet, snow-covered wonderland—peaceful, sparkling, and absolutely magical. ✨
Honestly… 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.

One of the best ways to soak it all in?
Snowshoeing. Yes—snowshoeing. It’s fun, it’s easy to pick up, and it’s the closest thing to stepping inside a real-life snow globe!!!

❄️ Why Snowshoeing at Moosehead Lake Is 𝙋𝙐𝙍𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙈𝘼𝙂𝙄𝘾:

—Total tranquility—
All you hear is the soft crunch of snow under your feet. It feels like the world is standing still just for you.
—Breathtaking winter landscapes—
Snow-laden evergreens, frozen lakes, and mountain views that stop you in your tracks.
—A choose-your-own-adventure vibe—
🌲Wandering quiet forest trails or heading up to overlooks with panoramic views—every route feels like a discovery.🏔️
—Beginner-friendly and fun—
If you can walk, you can snowshoe. And once you get going, you’ll wonder why you haven’t done it sooner.
—That magical “first tracks” feeling—
There’s nothing like being the first person to step on a blanket of untouched snow.

🌲Greenville has miles and miles of trails just waiting for you—every trail feels like a postcard moment, and every turn offers something new!

If you want to feel alive, inspired, and fully immersed in winter’s magic, this is where you need to be.
Pack your snowshoes. Bring your sense of adventure.
Moosehead Lake is calling… and you should be here.

The Maine state mammal’s size is both impressive and intimidating by any measure! A fully grown male moose, called a bull, can reach 6 ft. in height at the shoulder and can weigh upwards of 1400 lbs.👀...𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀
☝🏼They enjoy dining on aquatic plants in the summer months and tree bark, leaves, and balsam fir in the cooler seasons.
☝🏼While clumsy in appearance, moose can run at speeds of 35 mph and can swim over 10 miles at a time.
☝🏼The best time of day to see moose is early in the morning or at dusk.
❗️After dark, moose are very hard to spot standing on the road high above vehicle headlights so there is no reflection of the lights in their eyes. Always remain alert when driving at night. A moose encounter can result in great damage to vehicles and passengers.
☝🏼The flap of skin under a moose’s throat is called a bell.
☝🏼Moose have no top front teeth.
☝🏼Only male moose grow antlers, which they shed in early winter and re-grow during the year. The main function of antlers is for display during the mating season.
☝🏼The first law to protect moose was passed in 1930.
☝🏼After their first calf, moose quite often have twins.
☝🏼Moose can only see about 25 feet.
☝🏼Moose prefer shady, wet areas such as bogs and marshes.
