Turn right onto an unnamed gravel road (adjacent to a large open field). Immediately cross a bridge over the Swift River, then turn right onto Bemis Road and drive north for about 3.5 miles. Look for a road on the left going downhill and follow it into an old gravel pit (large boulder with graffiti), and park. Look for red blazes, and follow a logging path across Berdeen Stream, and continue following the trail (red blazed) to Mountain Brook. The trail follows the brook up stream and crosses (rock hops) the brook three times before you come to the falls. APPALACHIAN TRAIL: Trail runs from Andover through our area beyond Saddleback Mountain. To reach Trail on Rt. 17, travel 11.1 miles south from Oquossoc. Trail from Rt. 17 to Rt. 4 is approximately 13 miles. It is moderate hiking, no real steep sections. Four miles from Rt. 17 is Sabbath Day Pond and shelter. To reach trail-crossing Rt. 4, travel south approximately 9 miles from the center of Rangeley. From Rt. 4 to top of Saddleback Mountain it is 5 miles. The last mile is above tree line.

  • Mooselookmeguntic Lake Fishery Management 2014
    Fishery Progress Report Series No. 14-05 MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE FISHERY MANAGEMENT By: David Howatt and Jason Seiders December 2014 Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Fisheries and Hatcheries Division MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE FISHERY MANAGEMENT JOB NO. F-014 INTERIM SUMMARY REPORT NO. 8 (2011-2014) SUMMARY Mooselookmeguntic Lake is the largest of the Rangeley Chain of Lakes and supports sport fisheries for wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. These fisheries have been monitored by periodic creel surveys and season-long aerial angler counts since 1981. Growth rates for salmon declined considerably beginning in the late 1990’s; brook trout growth also declined during that period but not as dramatically. The decline in fish quality for both species was attributed to a decline in harvest rates resulting from reduced fishing pressure and increased release rates of legal fish by anglers. Salmon regulations were liberalized slightly in 2000 to encourage harvest of smaller fish and improve fish quality. Salmon quality continued to deteriorate, so harvest regulations were further liberalized in 2006 (three salmon daily bag limit; minimum length limit 12 inches; only one may exceed 16 inches). Additional salmon harvest was also encouraged through an educational program involving signage, oral presentations, and written articles. Salmon growth has been steadily poor over recent years, but is now showing some signs of improvement. High salmon densities in a large waterbody, such as Mooselookmeguntic Lake, have required a long-term effort to improve growth. The more liberal salmon rules, combined with the education effort, have not resulted in the dramatically increased salmon harvest that must be sustained for a number of years to realize any improvements in growth rates and size quality.
