Moosehead Lake is a cavernous coldwater lake in northwestern Maine. It is 32 miles (51.5 kilometers) long and 5 miles (8 kilometers) across, making it the largest lake in Maine. It has long been the perfect destination to rejuvenate and refresh yourself amid peaceful solitude and pristine wilderness. It is also a great choice for outdoor adventurers, such as hiking, canoeing, and boating. Historically, it was the center of Maine’s logging activity that ultimately preserved the lake and kept it unblemished by industrialization for years. Today, the nearby outpost town is slowly transitioning to accommodate tourists, with boutiques and souvenir shops that cater to the lake’s visitors. Accommodations around the lake range from rustic to luxury, with overnight and week-long stays available. Read on to discover the best Airbnbs near Moosehead Lake, Maine.
