Maine Moose Tours Report

We had a busy day on the lake today with both a morning and evening wildlife tour as well as a noontime sightseeing tour. Bob was the guide in the morning and he had a large group of 10 looking for some elusive Maine wildlife. As they sailed across the lake they saw an eagle, a loon and a snapping turtle. On the evening tour Bryant was the guide and he had 11 guests on the NEOC pontoon boat. The sightings were 10 loons and a baby bald eagle.

On this last day of June our guide, Paul and 9 guests were delighted to get out on the NEOC pontoon boat for our evening wildlife tour. Along the way to Big Mud Brook they saw a loon and 3 moose including a bull, a cow and a calf.

After a full day of rainy weather our guide, Matt decided to take his group of 2 in the NEOC van into Baxter State Park. They walked the short distance to Sandy Stream Pond where they saw mallards and ring necked ducks as well as a doe…a deer…a female deer.

It was another lovely day here at Twin Pines as Matt and 10 guests headed out on Millinocket Lake to enjoy the gorgeous views and search for wildlife. As they made their way across the lake they encountered golden eye ducks, geese with young, an eagle, our favorite nesting loon, beaver, a deer and a huge bull moose. All of this in the shadow of Katahdin, what more could you ask for?

It was another warm June day with a nice breeze blowing when our Maine guide, Matt brought 2 guests to a local pond for the Watchable Wildlife Tour via kayak. As they paddled the pond and took in the gorgeous view of Katahdin they saw a plethora of wildlife including an American bittern, red wing black birds, an osprey, golden eye ducks, a momma merganser with 10 tiny ducklings, a snapping turtle, 2 beaver, 2 deer and a bull moose! Now that’s what we call a successful tour.

On this steamy 90 degree June day our Maine guide, Paul was busy on the water with 2 wildlife tours. On the morning tour he gathered a group of 6 onto the pontoon boat and set sail across Millinocket Lake. Along the ride they were delighted to see 3 loons, a kingfisher and 2 moose, a cow and a bull. In the evening we had 12 guests looking to beat the heat of the day and hopefully see some wildlife in the process. They accomplished both on their journey as they were happy to see 4 loons, cormorants, kingfishers, 3 beaver and 1 bull moose. (Photo below)

Summer is here in the Katahdin Region and we are all fired up to get our guests out on Millinocket Lake for some wildlife watching.

For the evening tour, with Paul at the wheel the sightings were kingfishers, 2 loons, cormorants and 3 moose, 2 cows and 1 calf. We also had a watchable wildlife tour via kayak this afternoon with Tallie as our guide.

Our Maine Guide, Matt was busy today with both our morning and evening wildlife tours. To start this bright and sunny day, he gathered 4 guests onto the NEOC pontoon boat and headed towards Big Mud Brook. As they enjoyed the beauty of Katahdin looking down upon Millinocket Lake they also saw several loons including that nesting momma that has been anxiously awaiting her babies, kingfishers, a turkey vulture, a bald eagle and a bull moose. On the evening tour they once again saw several loons including the nesting loon, kingfishers, mergansers, eagles, and a beaver.

On this first day of summer 2025, Matt and 2 guests set out across Millinocket Lake for the morning wildlife tour. Just as soon as they left the dock the sky opened up and the rains came then just as quickly they stopped. Along the journey they were able to see loons including one nesting, a cormorant, golden eye ducks, a muskrat, a whitetail deer and a bull moose. For the evening tour our guide, Max and 2 guests set their sights for Baxter State Park where they were able to see some ducks, a red fox, a snapping turtle and 2 deer.

On our morning wildlife tour, our guide, Bob and 2 guests were once again on Millinocket Lake to see what they could see. As it turns out they were grateful to see several loons and a cow moose. It looks like we are having a lucky streak.

On this beautiful late spring morning our guide, Bob and 3 guests ventured across Millinocket Lake and along the ride into Big Mud Brook they saw loons and ducks, an eagle and 4 moose including a yearling, 2 cows and 1 bull.

This evening we had a large group of 11 guests that boarded the NEOC pontoon boat with Matt P as the captain. As they set off for Big Mud Brook they saw lots of birds including 2 loons and an eagle.
