Lodge Goes Green

The Lodge has committed to going green where ever we can. Recently on the south side of the Lodge, we installed a new Boiler. This unit uses wood and will help us replace oil for heating water and the Lodge. We expect to use 16 cords of wood for the winter but don't really know for sure. The guests like the smell of burning wood. It actually adds to the Lodge ambience. The slide show takes you through the steps of installation at the Lodge.

Sailing on Moosehead Lake

This week the lake has been wonderful. The pictures are of an excursion we took with a friend's sailboat on Moosehead Lake. The lake is 20 miles x 40 miles, plenty of space for sailing and what wonderful sights we see, from cabins, many islands, loons, geese, motor craft and much more.

Luna Moth seen at the Lodge

This Luna Moth was seen at the Lodge last week. Luna moths are one of the most unusual and beautiful of the North American moths known as Saturnidae. They are well known for their green-yellow colors and long tails,and although they are often seen in pictures, they are a real surprise when found in nature. Although they are common throughout the eastern U.S., their night flying habits and short life span as an adult moth, only about 1 week, combine to make them a rare find. The luna moth, with a wingspan of 4.5-5.0 inches, is one of the largest moths in North America and is very common in many of the eastern states from Maine all the way to Florida. They usually are seen less as you go westward to Texas and the Great Plains. It is also found in southern regions of many Canadian provinces such as Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskachewan.

Hike to Moxie Falls

Here Dennis and Chloe (the lodge dog) take you on a personal tour of Moxie Falls, an easy and very beautiful hike. Water is currently high and the falls are very full. There are two ways to get to the beginning of this hike - one utilizes Maine highways and the other is a dirt road where a minimum of a SUV is recommended. Moxie Falls is the highest waterfall in New England - over 90 feet and well worth the visit. The Lodge can prepare a picnic lunch with 24 hour notice or provide Moose-A-Lix for an easy snack. Just ask.

Beaver Dam

The Knuckles family from Chicago saw a large beaver dam this morning while taking a Moose Safari from the Lodge at Moosehead Lake.
