It is the largest lake of Maine and the largest lake wholly within [[New England]] (the larger [[Lake Champlain]] is located between [[Vermont]], [[New York (state)|New York]], which is not considered part of New England, and the province of [[Quebec]] in [[Canada]]). It was named Moosehead Lake, because the lake's shape looks like a [[moose]]'s [[head]]. There are over 80 [[island]]s in the lake, the largest being Sugar Island. ==Other websites== {{commons cat-inline}} {{US-geo-stub}} [[Category:Lakes of the United States]] [[Category:Geography of Maine]]
