I feel the need to preface all of my nature reviews with this: being 90% forested and having around…read more3500 miles of coastline, Maine has a tremendous amount of spaces, walkways, paths, and trails of all kinds and of all levels. There's something for everyone. What I'm reviewing is how a spot compares to similar outdoor spots in my personal opinion. Being in nature - and remembering to carry in, carry out - is always five stars! :) Parking? Yes. Loop trail? Kind of. Well marked signs? Not really. Element of surprise? No. For Cumberland County folks, Moose Point feels like a combination of Fort Williams Park and Mackworth Island. It's got grassy knolls to picnic on with views of Penobscot Bay, evergreen groves to meander through via wide and well maintained trails (some of which have benches, some of which have little staircases leading down to the pebbled water's edge), a gazebo for events, and during low tide there are tidal pools to explore (during high tide it's much more difficult to navigate because it's mostly just uneven rocks and not much of a shore). I think this is a beautiful spot in midcoast Maine, and I'm glad there are locations like it throughout the state. Personally, I don't necessarily feel the need to come back (except to get my Maine State Parks Passport Stamp!!!), just because we have something soooooooooooo similar so close. But I can see how it's a draw for so many!

And the Megunticook lake it's just something else! Pure beauty and relax. The boat you'll be fishing on it's absolutely perfect and super comfortable.

The dock is a long walk so just a heads up if you have mobility issues. But you can get there. Plenty of seating in board, but it will be full so you might be seating next to a new friend. Does not matter which side to sit because the captain will spin the boat around for both sides to see each site. The entire trip was educational and picturesque. The captain has lots of stories and knowledge of the area. Very engaging. The back speaker was a bit crackling so missed a few tidbits plus the motor in back can be challenging. So prepare ahead to where you should sit. There is shade and sun. Great views of island life, birds, seals and even jellyfish. Saw a couple eagles and porpoises. So cool. They also pull a lobster trap and share the rules and regulations on lobstering. Great for kids. It's a solid two hour excursion and no on board facilities so prepare. Sure it's a bit touristy but I learned a lot about the lobster industry and salmon farming as well as island life. I would do it again and bring friends.

Super glad I brought polarized sunglasses. Thank you! Can't wait to come back!

In short summary, Captain Pete is the friendliest, most skilled and passionate fisherman I've ever…read moremet in my life. He is knowledgeable about some of the greatest fishing areas in the world and makes sure people have a fun time and are enjoying themselves and comfortable at all time. His rates are phenomenal but what really makes this worth it is his commitment to service which is unparalleled by any other fishing service. Captain Pete has great, organized trips for everyone from inexperienced fishermen, children, and families to the most hardcore fishermen out there. While I'm not a true fishing fanatic like Pete is I do appreciate a good time when I have one and Captain Pete goes above and beyond to share his passion with anyone young and old. I would highly recommend his services to EVERYONE.

It was a nice 10 minute walk down a wooded, paved road to the lake. There were a surprising number of cars parked on the road meaning we weren't the only ones who didn't mind the walk. Since it is very early in the year the water is very cold! But the water and the beach is perfectly clean. It is a nice place to take the family for an afternoon at the lake. More hiking would have bumped the rating to 5 stars!

If they could keep the ducks out of the public swimming area, it would be a perfect spot.

I love the feeling of that first bite and the thrill of fighting a big fish. What I don't like is the pressure that can come with some guided trips; to always catch more, bigger, better. Don't get me wrong, Megan will put you on fish and she is always up for intense, technical trips if that's what you are looking for. However, she is also up for more casual fishing and is forever patient. Under her guidance I caught my first fish on the fly and got to explore some of the prettiest country Maine has to offer. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Megan. No matter what your fishing style is, she can take you on a great adventure!
