The latest happenings at Mahoosuc as we move into summer!
Winter moved into spring and now we are quickly moving into summer! We have already had four canoe trips in May and this summer promises to be as busy as last! Click here to see our full summer canoeing schedule.
This is an older video of Polly being interviewed by a student for SALT magazine. I enjoy viewing it but it does make me miss my old lead dog, Jarvis.
Kevin has just guided a St John (Wolastoq) and Allagash canoe trips plus a couple day long workshops for canoe poling and white water refresher during this month of May.
Polly guided a day canoe trip to Umbagog Lake but has mostly been working on the dog farm doing some much needed upkeep. We are also working on a new website so stay tuned for the “new Mahoosuc” look! We have been told if we had more google reviews this would help our search engine optimization. So if you have done a trip with us and would like to write a review we would really appreciate it. Here is the link to your personal review and we thank you!
In the last month we have been busy with some other activities here on the farm; hosting a Wilderness First Aid course (next one in October), taught some of the new Kroka staff for a few days about campfire cooking, how to conduct a safe trip in the wilderness, among other topics, continued to help Jarrod build his new wood canvas canoe with Kevin in his workshop. It is looking very nice!

We are sorry to see our apprentice since October, Auden, leave for his next adventure and to follow his interests in wildlife. We are looking for someone to work with us this summer who would like to learn on our canoe trips and also help care for the sled dogs.

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.
