Directions

Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge is located off Rt. 1 southwest of Calais, ME.  It can be reached by taking Rt. 1 North from coastal Maine, Rt. 1 South from northern Maine, or Rt. 9 east from the Bangor area.  Watch for the refuge boundary sign along Rt. 1.

Stop by our office!

From Rt. 1, follow signs to the Refuge Headquarters about 3 miles south on the Charlotte Road.  The office is open Monday - Friday, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., except holidays.  An information booth provides after-hours visitors with brochures and maps.

The refuge is open to the public daily from one half-hour before sunrise to one half-hour after sunset.

A Few Simple Rules

• Refuge roads are closed to all private vehicle traffic, but open to walking an bicycling.
• No motorized vehicles or bicycles are allowed in the Wilderness Area.
• Pets are permitted on a leash.
• No overnight parking.
• Camping, campfires and fireworks are prohibited.
• No firearms permitted (except legal hunting, contact refuge for current regulations).

The refuge is named for Moosehorn Stream, a waterway within its boundaries. Ironically, this is a misnomer, since moose have antlers and not horns!
