The Birches Resort on Moosehead Lake

Come see why The Birches Resort is one of the most complete and beautiful resorts in all of New England!

Situated on the western shoreline of Moosehead Lake we feature 15 rustic waterfront cabins, 6 exclusive private home rentals, Kozy Kabins (replacing cabin tents), wilderness yurts, rooms in the main lodge and rooms at The Riverview.

We offer casual lakeside dining and a lounge for our guests and visitors.

Bountiful activities for all seasons offer you and your family the fun and flexibility you deserve! There is a beach, large hot tub, dry sauna and a new fitness center for our guests.

Let The Birches & Wilderness Expeditions be your base for summer and winter activity!

Because we are the most complete resort in the Moosehead Lake Region, our guests can experience a more complete vacation. There are endless summer possibilities ranging from moose cruises, whitewater rafting, guided kayak or mountain bike eco tours to plane rides and Jeep tours!

To some, the fun only gets better as the temperatures cool down! The Birches offers some of the best on site cross country skiing in Maine and we have well groomed snowmobile trails in every direction. Ice fishing and snowshoeing are also popular winter activities, available right from your cabin's doorstep!

Looking to have some outdoor fun, but need a little help with gearing up or require transportation? The Birches Resort & Wilderness Expeditions offer transportation and/or gear for the purposes of unguided canoe or mountain bike trips.

We offer rental boats for guests and day visitors to explore Moosehead Lake or go fishing. Snowmobile, snowshoe and cross country skiing equipment are also available for rent.
