Dougette has officially retired and is enjoying the easier pace in our house along with her sister Meghan. She likes to visit the dog yard and tell her kids and grandkids who is still boss!
In these busy times it is nice to be able to offer people an experience that is “unplugged” away from phones, news and a chance to connect to nature. The dogs are always happy, don’t judge and don’t care what day of the week it is!
We are happy to be starting our 30th winter guiding dogsledding trips! We have many repeat clients and are now guiding their kids and sometimes grandkids!
Our winter apprenticeship is still available for someone who would like to learn how to mush dogs, a traditional style of winter camping, meet many nice people and spend much of your time outside!
Here is a video about us here at Mahoosuc to give you a birds eye view of who we are, hope you enjoy it.
Polly, Kevin & all the doggies

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 […]
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.
