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, Kevin & all the doggies
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 […]
We were able to do our canoe trips later this year as the weather has been unusually warm and beautiful! Here in the Bear River Valley our fall colors are past peak and the leaves are starting to fall. Temperatures remain very comfortable to do outside projects. There is a chill in the air at […]
Siobhan went to doggy heaven today. She was one of Kevin’s dogs and always up for anything. She loved people and children and whenever anyone came to visit the kennel she always thought they came to see her! She ran in any position in the team and was versatile sometimes going with Polly’s teams if […]
I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful Allagash trip. I thoroughly enjoyed myself although I did feel a little like I should have done more. Old habits die hard, I guess. It was such a pleasure picking my way down the river, especially below the falls. I always looked forward to that area. What a crew you have. Jason and Mandy were great and you are a natural leader, showing both compassion and firmness when called for. I have admired what you and Kevin have accomplished for a long time and two trips with you just goes to show me why you had such success.
