Maine Moose Tours Report

Moose Report, 2025
On this unseasonably warm morning, Paul and 4 guests set sail across Millinocket Lake taking in the breathtaking views of Katahdin schrouded in fall colors. They were able to see a plethora of wildlife including many loons, many cormorants, Canada geese, a wood duck, an eagle, a kingfisher and a whitetail doe.
It certainly appears that the Katahdin Region is close to peak foliage on this bright sunny morning and Paul was thrilled to get a group of 12 on the pontoon boat en route for Big Mud Brook. As they journeyed along they saw loons, geese, wood ducks, many cormorants, a bald ealge, an American kestrel and 3 river otter.
On this lovely fall morning, Paul and 2 guests were able to get out on Millinocket Lake. They enjoyed the gorgeous scenery as well as loons, cormorants and 3 bald eagles.
This morning, Paul and 8 guests boarded the NEOC pontoon boat and headed across the lake towards Big Mud Brook where they were able to see several cormorants and Canada geese.
It was a chilly morning here in the Katahdin Region as Paul and 5 guests climbed into the van and headed for some of our favorite spots. It would appear that the wildlife was all hunkered down keeping warm since they were only able to see geese and a ruffed grouse.
On this final evening of September, our guide, Bob and 4 guests boarded the van and set off for Sandy Stream Pond in Baxter State Park. Unfortunately they were only able to see some loons and golden eye ducks but the foliage turning all around Katahdin was a big hit.
This evening, Madi and a group of 11 boarded the NEOC van and made their way towards the Golden Rd and Sandy Stream Pond. They were impressed to see 5 mergansers, 2 mallards and as Madi put it, a big ol bull moose! What an end to a beautiful fall day!
On this sunny fall morning our guide, Paul and 4 guest were thrilled to get out on the pontoon boat to see what they could see. With the leaves beginning to turn, the background scenery is quite spectacular with Katahdin looking down upon the lake. The only sightings were geese and black ducks today.
On the last full day of summer we enlisted the help of Madi to guide our evening wildlife tour. As she ushered her 6 guests aboard the NEOC van and headed towards Sandy Stream Pond in Baxter State Park they were able to see 4 mergansers and a belted kingfisher that was hunting.
On this crisp, sunny morning our guide, Matt C and 7 guests were able to get out on the NEOC pontoon boat for a lovely ride across Millinocket Lake. As the group made their way towards Big Mud Brook they saw loons and black ducks, kingfishers, cormorants, eagles and otters.
It was a breezy evening as Matt C and a group of 6 set off on the pontoon boat on the way towards Big Mud Brook. As they putted across the lake they were able to see loons and cormorants, a bald eagle and a snapping turtle.
Summer is hanging on here in the Katahdin Region and our guide, Paul took advantage of that by getting a group of 2 out on the pontoon boat for a morning wildlife tour. As the group glided across the lake en route for Big Mud Brook they were able to see many loons, 2 belted kingfishers, 2 cormorants and 3 beaver.
