The Birches Resort on Moosehead Lake

A Front-Row Seat on Moosehead Lake

Perched on the wooded shore of Moosehead Lake, this camera looks out from the deck of The Birches Resort across the vast open water toward the lake's forested islands and the rolling hills beyond. As Maine's largest lake, Moosehead anchors a storied swath of the state's remote North Woods.

The Birches Resort

The historic Birches Resort sits among stands of white birch and pine in Rockwood, a small outpost on the western shore. The view takes in the lawn, picnic tables and a weathered dock where boats set out onto the lake.

The Maine North Woods

This corner of Somerset County is a gateway to one of New England's wildest landscapes, where the silhouette of Mount Kineo rises across the water and the surrounding forest stretches to the horizon. Experience this peaceful wilderness through a window that never closes.
