Visitor Opportunities
You can enjoy Moosehorn's natural beauty in many ways! TrailsOver 50 miles of dirt roads and trails are available for walking, biking, and skiing. These roads are a great way to observe wildlife. Three self-guided interpretive trails give insight into refuge wildlife and management. Learn more about Moosehorn's trails! Wildlife ObservationTwo observation decks offer good vantage points for eagles, osprey, and other wildlife. Stop by the office to ask about other wildlife hotspots. Click here for viewing tips. Visitors are invited to accompany wildlife biologists on woodcock and waterfowl banding operations (call ahead to schedule). For more wildlife observation opportunities on the refuge, click here. Tours and ProgramsRefuge staff offer programs at various times during the year, mostly during the summer. Annual events include the Children's Fishing Derby in June and National Wildlife Refuge Week in October. Please contact the refuge for current information.
Past summer programs have included guided refuge tours, nature walks, and Bart, the refuge's captive bald eagle. Several years ago, Bart was shot and had to have part of his left wing amputated. He cannot fly and is now cared for by a staff member at Moosehorn. Check out our upcoming events! Fishing and HuntingFishingSeveral streams and lakes on both the Baring and Edmunds Divisions are open to fishing. A Maine fishing license is required, which can be purchased in Calais. Current regulations and maps of fishing areas are available at the headquarters. Certain areas are closed to fishing until after the waterfowl nesting season. Small-mouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout, and chain pickerel are the most common fish. Please contact the office for current locations and regulations. HuntingAreas of the refuge are open to deer hunting during the Maine rifle and muzzle loader season only. Contact the office for more information. |
