 At
16,300 surface-acres Mooselookmeguntic Lake is one of the largest lakes
in Maine. The name Mooselookmeguntic is believed to be an ancient Abanaki
Indian word meaning “passage to place where the moose feed”
, or possibly “moose feeding among the trees”. Whatever
Mooselookmeguntic means, it stands head and shoulders over most Maine
lakes thanks to its numerous outdoor recreation opportunities and breath-taking
scenery.
Anglers from all over the US know this lake as an excellent Maine fishing
destination. Fallfish, salmon, brook trout, brown trout and many other
types of fish are present in Mooselookmeguntic Lake.
Mooselookmeguntic Lake is also a prime Maine canoeing lake. Paddlers
can enjoy miles of open water and easily access other lakes in the Rangeley
Lakes chain.
There are several protected land parcels around Mooselookmeguntic Lake
which are opent to the public and may be used for hiking and wildlife
viewing. Wilderness campsites run by the Stephen Phillips Memorial Trust
can be found along Mooselookmeguntic Lake’s western shore and
on a number of its small islands.
