On route 4 heading to Rangeley Lake there is a DPW Depot on the side of the road. It’s within some swampy land and many people park here. You’re pretty much guaranteed to see a Moose. I saw my first one at this location.

You can see a huge taxidermy moose on display in the New England Forests exhibition at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge, MA. This impressive bull moose, which lived over a century ago, now dominates the woodland pond in the newly opened Harvard Museum of Natural History exhibition. Due, in part, to the reforestation of the region, moose are now found in every New England state. The museum, which was a Yankee Magazine, Editors’ choice for Best of New England 2010, is open daily 9-5 pm.
