Moose are most likely spotted during late spring to mid-summer and the month of September. Early morning and evening and noon to 2 p.m. seem to be the best times of day for spotting these large animals while they eat a diet of woodland and aquatic vegetation (Up to 40 - 50 lbs. a day!). During your search, keep in mind the fact that a moose does have poor eyesight, but a very keen sense of hearing and smell. Also remember to stay away from cows (females) with calves in tow, and bulls (males) during “Rutting Season” as they are likely to charge the unwary tourist! "Hot Spots" for sighting moose in the Rangeley Lakes Region include Routes 4, 16 and 17. See the Rangeley Lakes Region Moose Watching Map for approximate locations!

Please see the State-of-Maine.us web site for moose facts and figures, sounds, and a photo slide show of bull and cow moose and their calves!
