I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Maine is wild, filled with plenty of untouched landscape, pristine bodies of water, dense forests, and majestic mountains. We all know how beautiful the state is and as a whole, it can be described as heavenly. It’s the perfect state to come to when you want to get away from it all and really connect with nature. One place you may want to consider visiting the next time you’re in need of a getaway is to the pristine paradise of Mooselookmeguntic Lake.
Mooselookmeguntic Lake is part of the larger Rangeley Lakes region which encompasses six lakes in all. The area is close to both the New Hampshire and Canadian borders.
The lake is fed water from several sources including Cupsuptic Lake, Rangeley River, and Kennebago River. In turn, Mooselookmeguntic Lake's waters flow into Upper Richardson Lake. The waters of Mooselookmeguntic Lake are pristine, making this an ideal place to enjoy swimming!
Within the lake are two islands known as Toothaker Island and Students Island. Both islands may be visited by boat and have beaches, hiking trails, and wilderness campsites.
To get the best views of Mooselookmeguntic Lake, head to Height of Land, a scenic overlook found along the Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway. You'll get sweeping views of the area surrounding this pristine lake.
