It has been a busy winter here at Mahoosuc with lots of trips to Umbagog Lake and happy to have a nice loop trail in Grafton Flats.

We guided our first trip into Katahdin Woods and Water National Monument. The dogs always enjoy going on different trails not to mention the mushers as well!
We have many trips left this winter and expect to be guiding through March. We have a good snow cover and more on the way. Click here to see our dogsledding schedule on our website.
Harvard University sent another great group of students who really appreciated their outdoor experience with us. This video shows a bit about their time at Mahoosuc!
We were very sorry to say good bye to Brianna. She lived a good life to the age of 13 1/2 years old. Brianna was a MacKenzie River husky and flew down to Mahoosuc from Alaska as a puppy. Her genes live on here with her kids and grandkids. Brianna was a very sweet dog who just loved riding around in vehicles. She lived out her retirement with good friends of ours, Judy & Howard.
Thank you for giving her a comfortable last few years of her life.
Here is a video taken by an enthusiast client from sitting inside the dogsled! We have one spot left on our Dogsledding with the Inuit trip April 12-21, 2020. This is a unique cultural experience and dogsledding adventure. People are signing up for our canoe trips which start in May. Click here to view our summer calendar. Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful winter! 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 […]
Over the years my wife and I have been on wonderful guided trips on the Allagash and West Branch of the Penobscot with Polly. I also went on several other Allagash trips with her. All of these trips were unique and enjoyable. We found her easy to be with and eager to share her wilderness knowledge of the North Country gained through experience of thirty years. Both Kevin and Polly are the organizers, guides, teachers, chefs, story tellers, and friend to all on the trip. But, there was no doubt they are in charge of details that made a wilderness trip seem effortless – shuttle service, organized lists with necessary equipment to bring, menus and meals, safety measures, daily schedules, side trips, and in a pinch, a back-up plan if some unseen event required a change in plans. Our view of this level of professional guiding is that it provides an atmosphere where everyone can feel safe and therefore free to totally enjoy the wilderness experience. Beyond all of the above, I think a real plus for me is the opportunity to use the skills I already have – this makes a trip with Kevin or Polly special for all involved.
