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!

Guided Allagash river trips are one of the most pleasant and relaxing canoe trips in Maine. You can see Moose, Eagles, and all the wildlife.
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 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.
