Nature & WILDLIFE
If you want to enjoy nature in unspoiled landscapes, you’ve
come to the right place; explore flora and meet fauna in our
parks, preserves, rivers, and on the sea.
Wildlife watching has long been an
interest of visitors to Maine and many
come hoping for a glimpse of North
America’s tallest land mammal, the
moose. Although moose range all over
the state, they are more commonly
seen in northern and western areas. At
Northwoods Outfitters in Greenville you
can glide gently in a canoe or kayak on
a moose wildlife safari or take an
interpretive nature tour on land with
a registered Maine Guide.
Other awe-inspiring mammals visitors
hope for a chance to view in their natural
environment are the sleek and graceful
denizens of the sea. Join Odyssey Whale
Watch on a search for humpbacks, fin-
backs, minkes, dolphins, and sea turtles.
Departing from the Portland waterfront,
and cruising up to 20 miles out to known
whale feeding grounds, Odyssey main-
tains nearly 100% sightings on their trips.
Farther south, the Maine Wildlife Park in
Gray gives a permanent home to wildlife
that cannot survive in the wild because
of injury or earlier captivity. There you’ll
get a close-up look at over 25 species of
Maine wildlife such as moose, lynx,
black bears, mountain lions, kestrels, and
barred and great horned owls. The park
is open mid-April through Veteran’s Day
and offers an exciting array of activities
on Saturdays. Birders will find a wealth
of resources about spying avians from
plovers to puffins on the
mainebirding-
trail.com.
Take advantage of bird walks
led by knowledgeable Maine Audubon
guides in Falmouth and Scarborough.
If you haven’t been to the Coastal Maine
Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, you’ve
missed one of the state’s natural gems.
As well as glorious formal gardens, you’ll
find massive ledges covered in mosses,
lichens and ferns, native forest, and
nearly a mile of sparkling waterfront.
To the west of Portland, in nearby New
Gloucester, 5,000-acre Pineland Farms
offers trails for walking, running and
mountain biking as well as 25 km of
groomed trails for classic and skate
Nordic skiing. Stroll through the
perennial, herb and vegetable garden
and explore Pineland’s fields and forests.
The premises also house a working
farm and creamery and a world-class
equestrian center. Not far to the north,
McLaughlin Garden features mature
perennial beds and the largest collection
of lilacs in New England; the garden is
open daily free of charge May-October.
