The Moosehead Lake boat ramp on Lobster Trip Road in northern Somerset County offers trailered boat access to Maine's largest lake. This improved launch provides convenient access for paddlers and motorboaters looking to explore Moosehead Lake's 3,475 acres and 106-foot maximum depth. The ramp allows boaters to launch upstream into Carry Brook and onto the main lake.
Paddlers should be aware that Moosehead Lake is a large, open water body with navigation hazard and safety zone markers throughout. The lake features multiple accessible coves including East Cove, Cowan Cove, and others, with 8 boat slips available at Crafts Landing and Park in nearby Greenville for those needing overnight mooring. Note that water levels typically drop significantly by late fall, which may affect launch conditions.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including landlocked salmon, lake trout, and brook trout, making it popular with both anglers and recreational paddlers. This access point is ideal for those seeking a substantial paddling destination with established facilities and other road-accessible launch sites around the lake.
