Happy August to Everyone!
Summer is winding down but we are still going!
Summer is winding down but we are still going!
We have had many canoe trips in July and August with happy clients making memories to last a lifetime! Some of these trips have been put off for a couple years due to Covid travel restrictions. I believe the trip was worth the wait!
The dogs are definitely relieved to have the temperatures dropping as the intense heat we felt at times in late July is hard on sled dogs. Some of the holes in the dog pastures have gotten deeper providing comfort in the cool ground.
Polly has been guiding the canoe trips in July and August while Kevin is working on some much needed maintenance on the home front and our winter trail system for the dog sledding trips.
We have room on a couple more canoe trips this fall for anyone still wanting to get out on the water before freeze up:
Way of the Wabanaki – September 15 – 18
Allagash Fall Foliage – September 27 – October 2

For anyone wanting to learn wilderness first aid or recertify your first aid/first responder, we will be hosting a course in our lodge October 21-23rd. Contact us for more details.
Hope you are all enjoying the remainder of our summer!
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 can’t think of a better trip leader for our Allagash experience. Your quiet competence was a perfect match for the quiet beauty of this land and water.
