Canoe the Wild guided trip with a group of students from Fort Kent and Madawaska sponsored by the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Foundation. Students learned about the logging history of the Allagash and interviewed two park rangers and a game warden. Students also learned how to paddle in class II whitewater, canoe poling, how to start of campfire with a spark, knots and their uses, and cooking and baking over an open fire. Students also learned about career opportunities as guides, rangers, and game wardens. Part of the discussion with students was about ingredients for success including being organized, have good people skills, self motivation, being respectful of others, and giving your best while working and being mentored by others. To take part in an already scheduled canoe trip or to book your private group with Canoe the Wild on the Allagash, contact Dave Conley.
Here are a few pictures of our 2022 canoe tripping season mostly on the Allagash. We’re excited to get back into Canada in 2023 and back on the Bonaventure River in Quebec and the NE Mistissibi River farther to the north! We’ve added a few more St Croix River Trips, 3- 5 days in duration and it looks like we’ll have 2 St. John River canoe trips mid May. Check out of 2023 canoe trip schedule here
