Rangeley Lakes is a canoeing trip that [[senior campers]] go on. The [[trip]] goes across multiple lakes but does not include the actual Rangeley Lake. It is called Rangeley Lakes because it is in the Rangeley Lakes Region. The first lake the trip goes on is Mooselookmeguntic Lake. Mooselookmeguntic is the Abenaki word for moose feeding place. At the other end of this lake from the starting point there is a dam called the Upper Dam which separates Mooselookmeguntic lake from Upper Richardson Lake. The waters of Mooselookmeguntic Lake flow into Upper Richardson Lake at this dam so when it was build it raised Mooselookmeguntic Lake's water level by 14 feet to a maximum depth of 139 feet. The area of Mooselookmeguntic Lake is about 25 square miles. The trip goes to the dam on the second day and portages across it into Upper Richardson Lake. Once on the other side of the dam the [[trip leader]] may decide to visit Cranberry Cove, a cove across the lake from the dam that is know for its wild cranberries and common moose sightings. The rest of the trip consists of canoeing all the way down to the end of Lower Richardson lake. The entire trip is four days and three nights long and goes across more than 30 miles.
