Bigelow Preserve is home to the lake in what counties in Maine?
Bigelow Preserve Bigelow Mountain Preserve is a 36000 acre state-owned nature preserve in the western part of the U.S. state of Maine. Located in Stratton, Maine, the preserve was created in 1976 in order to stop a proposed development of a ski resort in the area. It is home to Mount Bigelow, one of Maine's highest mountains at an elevation of 4145 ft , and Flagstaff Lake.
Moosehead Lake Moosehead Lake is the largest lake in the U.S. state of Maine and the largest mountain lake in the eastern United States. Situated in the Longfellow Mountains in the Maine Highlands Region, the lake is the source of the Kennebec River. Towns that border the lake include Greenville to the south and Rockwood to the northwest. There are over 80 islands in the lake, the largest being Sugar Island. The area has been the focal point of a controversy surrounding planned large scale commercial development, and the environmental practices of the developer.
