Maine’s largest lake is Moosehead Lake. Spanning 74,890 acres, it’s one of the largest freshwater lakes in the country and the second-largest lake in New England after Lake Champlain. Just three hours north of Portland in the Highlands region, it’s great for fishing with plenty of landlocked salmon, brook trout and lake trout. If a leisurely cruise is more your speed, then rent a boat or take a narrated cruise on the steamboat Katahdin. As you might imagine, the area is known for moose. In fact, moose outnumber people three to one. Take a moose safari and spot the elusive creature with a guide. The best time of day to see moose is early in the morning or at dusk, from mid-spring through late June.
