It’s 36 miles between Lincoln and Conway.
Yes, I’ve driven that road a number of times. Pretty much once you’re off the Avalon peninsula, the island is lousy with moose.
Also in Gros Morne, where I’ve encountered moose while on foot and while camping.
Seriously, go out to the moose wallows along Rt 16 at dusk and you will see a moose more often than not. They’re pretty easy to find.
I took a three day canoeing trip in Algonquin Park a few years ago. We were canoeing in a waterway connecting two lakes and there was a female moose and her baby at the water’s edge having a drink of water. We all glided by very quietly. It was beautiful.
Why, to get to the lodge meeting, of course.
Every few years we drive through Algonquin in the spring (late April / early May). Every time we have seen moose, when they come to the highway for the road salt. Often we see 10 or more in a weekend. A couple of years ago we almost didn’t see any, but finally found one the day we were leaving.
Where in Minnesota can I see a lion?!?!
I’m getting Monty Python flashbacks, was this in the Holy Grail? In the beginning part when people are getting sacked?
Wow, Isle Royale sounds fascinating! Has anyone been there?
One of the wolves made it across the ice to the mainland this winter, where some bubba shot it with a pellet gun.
I have not been there. It’s about a dozen miles across the water from me, so while it is nice to look at in the distance, it is too far for me to paddle over (the water is near freezing even in the summer). Topographically, Isle Royale is the same as the mainland shore from Grand Portage to past Thunder Bay. My neighbours sail over there occasionally, and find it nice but rather civilized and highly used, but that’s because they are into wilderness where they rarely come across people rather than managed parks where people are the norm. They (and other friends who have been there) have all said they enjoyed the hiking, and that there are some lovely views. http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/trips/best-trails/isle-royale-hike-map/
Most folks sleep on their own boats or in their own tents on shore at prepared sites, however, if you are not into this, there is a lodge on the island. Note that if you are there in the spring (the best time to see moose), camping might not be as enjoyable as later in the season, for spring be blackfly season.
All in all, it sounds like a lovely place to visit. You can get there by ferry from Grand Portage, and there is limited ferry service also from Houghton and Copper Harbour. Please note, however, that the Minnesota moose decline has taken place on Isle Royale too, and since there are no roads there, there is no salt to attract the moose to roadside vegetation, so don’t expect to get an autograph from Bullwinkle.
(Come to think of it, a moose used to hang out at a wetland at the end of my street, but I have not come across it for three years. I don’t know if that is part of the moose decline or not.)
Bingo. This is the only place I’ve seen them, but saw quite a few just in one trip.
Obligatory link to Granite State of Mind “It’s the Kancamagus, not the Kancamangus” 
Yes, in the section of the opening credits generally known as the “møøse credits.”
Moose have a reason to be cranky nearly year round. Bulls are in rut in the fall, cows are calving in the spring, and both are starving in the winter. They’re mean-tempered and will charge, and will stomp you to death if pissed off enough. It’s best to give them a wide berth.
Yes. It is amazing!
If you don’t catch one in Minnesota and don’t want to trek to Alaska… As stated previously, Jackson Hole is a good bet. But there are quite a few in Colorado too. Some on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, and more around Chambers Lake, and even more around North Park.
I was skiing in the Jackson Hole ski resort when a huge moose just sauntered across the ski slope. And not one of the high-up dinky pistes either – very close to the bottom where all the beginners were.
I recommend Yellowstone. Moosen aren’t nearly as common there as they are some places, but even if you don’t see a moose… Well, you’re seeing Yellowstone. Yellowstone is the top of the list of must-see places in North America. It’s arguably all three of the top three places.
Pretty sure Denali and Yosemite should be in there someplace.
