Our 2024 Season in Pictures

By

The 2024 season was a busy one with twenty outings and over 175 guests in attendance. We were back in Quebec Canada again with 2 whitewater trips, in June on the Bonaventure River and in July on the NE Mistissibi River. We had six outings on the St Croix River, eleven Allagash trips and a wildlife photography workshop at a remote Maine lake. Generous grant funding sources  enabled over 40 teens to connect with nature while on the Allagash and St Croix Rivers. These outings were made possible by the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Foundation (AWWF)  and the Maine Outdoor Learning Initiative Grant. Our 2025 schedule has been up for sometime now with some trips already full. We’ll be back on the Bonaventure and NE Mistissibi Rivers this 2025 season. Our wildlife and moose photography workshop is happening again in late June. You can check out all our 2025 outings by clicking on our 2025 schedule. Why don’t you join us this season? you can sign up as an individual, with friends or as a family. Keep in mind, we do custom trips for private groups as well.

Another 5 day Allagash canoe trip with Canoe the Wild , this one with the Maine Women Hunter’s group.  We had high water and the bugs were not bad. Most of the rain fell at night and nobody joined the swim team in Chase Stream Rapids! Maine Guide Mark Hutchinson  ran safety sweep canoe with Sharon in Chase Stream Rapids. The trip was assisted by Maine guide and leader of the Maine Women Hunters group Christi Holmes. To take part in a future Maine Women Hunter’s 5 day Allagash trip, contact Christi Holmes on Facebook.  Our scheduled 2023 and 2024 trips.
