Fall is here and winter is on it’s way!
We want to share some photos of our sled dogs on trips this spring, summer and fall. It is always such a joy to have them on our canoe trips and to get “one on one” time with them away from the pack.

The dogs are getting ready to pull in harness as the days are finally cooling off enough to start running them. This winter proves to be very busy with many bookings already.

We welcome Auden as one of our winter apprentices. He is already learning a lot and he has already won over the affection of our shy dogs!
We are working on setting up our winter camps by freighter canoe getting ready before freeze up. It is very quiet and beautiful on the lake right now as we are the only people on it except a few ducks and loons.
Kevin has been teaching some paddle making workshops in his wood shop in October. Polly just returned from a nice canoe trip on the Green River in Utah!
Hope to see some of you on the trail this 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 […]
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.

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.
