Last summer a moose swam about 150" from shore heading towards Alton Bay. We weren't home but our neighbor took a picture as it swam by.

Earlier this week one came from Diamond Island and tried to make a landing on Railroad Ave. in W. Alton - for some reason a police cruiser was waiting and frightened it back into the water. The moose again tried to come on shore on a small beach on Smith Point Road only to find the cruiser waiting and returned once again further along and was able to get to the woods. This was confirmed by a "moose watcher" with binoculars and caused concern that the moose would tire before escaping into the woods. All's well that ends well. . .
