Located on the former Loring AFB in Aroostook County, Maine, Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1998. Situated on 4,700 acres of very varied habitat types, a very diverse cross-section of wildlife can be found on the refuge. Along with black and wood ducks, deer and moose can be regularly spotted feeding along stream banks. Snowshoe hares, minks, and river otters have also taken up residence on the refuge. Wildlife viewing, birding, and photography are popular activities on the refuge, as are snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Hunting and fishing on the refuge are not permitted at this time.
