Wanted to visit Moosehead Lake. Since I was a kid and my pop pop told me stories about a great uncle of mine who wound up marrying and settling up there. After he came home from WWII. He worked as a pilot in and around the Moosehead Lake area for some years. As well as flying for one of the bigger commercial airliners(which one I can't recall anymore). But he did that up until he was killed. When a commercial flight he was co-pilot on went down shortly after take off. Wish I could still remember where the crash site was exactly. It was big news at the time (early 80's possibly late 70's). They were calling it the worst air disaster in the history of New England at that time. And I'm fairly certain it still holds that unfortunate place in history yet today. He was a Hines.

Been going up to moosehead lake for the past 25 ,26 years!! Beautiful area and have seen many moose up close! Usually drive up to kokadjo and then on the other side of lake up to rockwood! Sometimes take a long ride to jackman and then cross the border to the quebec area and st george, quebec! Love to take the golden highway to mt katahdin, so peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for the info on this beautiful lake, very interesting and informative! I was told when first visiting the area that the name, moosehead lake was because when you look at the map of the lake it looks like moose antlers!! Thanks for the video!!
