Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge

The refuge spans 30,000 acres of protected lands with rolling hills, streams, lakes, bogs, marshes, and northern hardwood forests in northeastern Maine.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in 1937 as a protected area for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway.

The refuge contains two separate wilderness areas, providing natural spaces where visitors can observe wildlife in an undisturbed environment.

Visitors can explore the refuge through 50 miles of maintained roads and trails that connect various observation points and wildlife viewing areas.

The Edmunds Division features several miles of rocky coastline where tidal waters rise and fall up to 24 feet twice each day.
