Winter was slow in coming but when it came, it came in full strength!
Winter was slow in coming but when it came, it came in full strength!
We have been busy guiding dog sledding trips since just after Christmas. People are really enjoying being out in the natural world!
We had a film crew out with us for a TV Show “Weekends with Yankee” which will be aired nationwide in April. Host Richard Wiese enjoyed his time with our Yukon Huskies!
A few of our past apprentices came to visit or help on trips this early winter which was very nice to have them back! Thanks Kate, Grant, Eliot and Jule for staying in touch. Auden and Becca are working hard here this winter helping to keep everything running smoothly for guests and dogs.
Here are a couple videos made from previous trips with us by one of our Penobscot guides, Jason. For Dog Sledding with Harvard University click here, for Canoeing on the Allagash River click here. Thanks Jason for going down memory lane with Mahoosuc!
We had two dogs who were sled dogs and became pets, Connor Jr and Maura. They both have passed over to doggy heaven within a month of each other, in different loving homes. Thank you to their new owners for giving them such nice long lives being pampered pets!

Hope to see some of you on a trip in the future!

I have been guiding on the Allagash river since 1974 and over the years I’ve seen a distinct pattern in terms of usage. Canoeists must use designated campsites on the waterway and there is no reservation system. In peak periods if paddlers don’t secure a campsite by mid-day or shortly thereafter, they may end up […]
For many avid canoeists, the Allagash River Canoe Trip is on their bucket list, and for good reason. Protected by the citizens of Maine through a referendum in 1966, the mandate was to preserve its “forever wild” state. It truly is some of the wildest areas left in the east. In this article, we’ll help […]
I never thought I would become so attached to a team of dogs in such a short period of time. As I walked away from the pen and headed towards the barn I felt lonely. I rarely ever feel lonely – I felt as if I was being left alone and some part of me was afraid of being left alone for the first time in my life. As I entered the barn the valley filled with their singing. I turned and stood in the doorway smiling with a few tears falling from my eyes.
