Greenville & Moosehead Lake
Sophie’s Blog: We
went up to Moosehead Lake yesterday in Greenville. I thought the lake was
absolutely gorgeous! We saw a beautiful rainbow going from the lake to the
clouds, we went on a walk threw a campground at Lily Bay State Park and played
on a playground. We had a deer come up to our car and we saw a moose, it was
super neat! I think it’s definitely on the coolest places in Maine, I loved it.
