Spring is in the Air!
We have been very lucky to have such a great winter here in “our neck of the woods” with snow and ice on Umbagog Lake! We have been taking out lots of people on some very memorable dog sledding trips!

We have another month of trips here in Maine and then extend the winter season by going north on a Snowshoeing Trip with the Cree. This is a very rich cultural experience!
It is not too early to book a canoe trip with us. Click here for our schedule.
A new trip we are offering this summer is an Arctic Wildlife Inuit Cultural Basecamp Trip. We are guiding this trip with Inuk Allen Gordon who we have been doing dog sledding trips with for years. There will be a very good chance of seeing musk ox and northern lights on this trip among other amazing things!
Here is a nice blog post written by a couple who went out with us on an overnight trip recently. They were a joy to spend three days with!

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 […]

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 […]
Thank you for hosting our group again this year. I want you to know how much I appreciate the amount of time and effort you give to our students. The amount of trust you have for our students to allow them to lead a team of dogs is truly remarkable. I can not fully understand the amount of work that went into rearranging our itinerary because of the snowfall and high temperatures, but it is greatly appreciated. Your impact on young people reaches far and wide and I hear frequently that our trip to Maine has changed lives. You don’t get to see the pure joy on the kid’s faces as they explain to their parents their experience. It is breathtaking. Thank you again!
