We are pleased to announce that the state of Maine is slowly opening up and we are now allowed to guide residents of Maine, NH, VT. Also people from other states with the proof of a negative Covid-19 test 72 hours before their trip. We are very happy about this new regulation!
Kevin guides some day fishing excursions in the local waters. Seems to be popular for father and sons.
Polly gives the keynote speech at the Kroka high school semester graduation in Marlow, New Hampshire. These students spent 18 days here with us in April making their own wood paddles with Kevin, doing service and enjoying the dogs!

We are so happy to have made strong connections with Cree, Inuit and Penobscot people to learn from and guide with for over three decades. This relationship is invaluable and we are happy to share this with you on some of our trips.
Hope you are enjoying your summer and this beautiful stretch of weather we are having!

Polly, I just wanted to write you a note to thank you again for a wonderful and memorable experience on the Allagash. It was so much fun!

I was sorry that we didn’t give you the floor more of the time because your stories were so cool and I could tell you were just scratching the surface. Your guiding was great and there’s nothing I can think of for how you could have done it any better.
