Moose Watching

When is the best month for viewing moose? What area in your state? My hubby %26amp; I are photographers and nature lovers. Can you recommend any nice cabins esp. overlooking a lake ? A plus would be a fireplace and any canoeing.

Thanks -

Moose Watching

We really like the Tall Timber Lodge in Pittsburg. It%26#39;s right on Back Lake. You can stay in the lodge building or rent a cabin. The on-site restaurant is fantastic. They also have boats for guests to use.

Pittsburg is in the heart of ';moose'; country. The best viewing times are dawn and dusk.

Have fun!

Moose Watching

Pittsburgh is definitely the place to be for moose watching! Moose Alley at dusk %26amp; dawn are loaded with them.

I%26#39;ve only stayed at a friends cabin so I can%26#39;t help on place to stay.

The other day before I posted I did a search and read about the Tall Timber Lodge. Good area for Moose? I%26#39;ll def. have to check it out. Thanks.

Have stayed at the glen in pittsburg new hampshire many times, most recently was last summer. Absolute paradise. read the reviews of the glen with pictures on this site and visit their website. Tons of moose. It seems that there are more of them earlier in the season. The year we went in the beginning of July was when we had the most moose sightings.

I have the best luck moose viewing in the spring on ';Moose Alley'; in Pittsburg and Partridge Cabins right on the First Lake will give you privacy and access to an absolutely beautiful huge quiet lake. If you do go in the summer, don%26#39;t forget to get an ice cream right at Partridge Cabins called Moose Alley Cones.

Ya know its funny like most folks, a couple fo the posters here refer to ';moose alley'; as ';the must be place'; to see a moose.

If you study the NH F%26amp;G tracking reports as to %26#39;where the moose are actually at'; they live over here on the east side fo the state in higher numbers. The key reason for that is likely the fact that we have a lower human population and less traffic. Additionaly, in the North Country, 3 out of 5 of the most productive WMU%26#39;s (Wildlife Management Units) are right here - the other 2 are north of NH Route 26.

The Gorham Moose tours and a couple others that have started up since we opened this place back up drive right past us at least once, sometimes twice a day.

Fact is, I just saw 2 moose just a couple days ago, like they always do out at strange points along the roadway. Very true in the early spring, later in the season they get a bit more predicatble as to where you can expect them - So be careful driving at night!

Travel well!

We see tons of moose early morning and at dusk spring %26amp; fall near our home - Rt 16 from Jackson to Gorham. One night we saw 8!! I thought it was cool until the guy next to me at the bar that night told me that he had seen 17 one day last spring!!

Other towns fairly close to ';Moose Alley'; in Pittsburg are Errol/Cambridge. Check out Umbagog Lake. Great canoeing. We%26#39;ve seen moose in the water there (and along the roads). Also a natural habitat for loons and bald eagles. There are privately owned cabins as well as a State run campground (we remote camp every summer) and several other lodgings in the area. I prefer this area for it%26#39;s seclusion (far less crowded than the White Mts.) and it%26#39;s pristine beauty. Driving over to Pittsburg is beautiful, taking the Dixville Notch route. If you Google ';Umbagog Lake'; you will find a webpage listing all the lodging in the area. Have a great time!
