5 Day Allagash Canoe Trip, May 3-7, 2021
Our first canoe trip of the season and the earliest we have been on the Allagash! Our custom canoe trip group had a great time! Early spring is a good time to miss the bugs but the water is cold so being prepared with the right clothing, gear and being on top of your game is critical. We caught several nice brook trout, 10″-15″. While most of our canoe trips are full for 2021, we do have a few remining openings including a father and young son St. Croix Trip, 3 day family St. Croix River trip and labor day weekend trip. Our 2022 schedule is up and we are accepting deposits for that season. Up next is our St. John River Canoe trip!
Dave’s Favorite Pictures from 2020
A look back at the 2020 Maine canoe trip season While we had a late start due to Covid restrictions, it ended up being a really great season! During the month of June, Maine landscape photographer Ben Williamson of Downeast Magazine and his brother Zander joined us on a 5 day Allagash canoe trip. Zander caught lots of trout while Ben worked with me on improving my photography skills. Jeremy Grant of The Timber Cross joined us in July on an Allagash trip putting a high end video together, we spotted 23 moose and Jeremy captured some real cool drone footage (with a special permit). From late July into September, Canoe the Wild guides were busy on numerous Allagash and St. Croix River canoe trips. Moose hunting season went very well and we have posted some scenic shots below. Bookings are coming in almost daily now and we’re looking forward to what summer 2021 brings. We hope to be back in Eastern Canada on the Bonaventure week long whitewater trip but it not, we’ll enjoy Maine rivers such as the St. Croix River, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, the St. John River and West Branch of the Penobscot Rivers if the interest is there. Check out our 2021 Canoe the Wild schedule and remember, if a trip doesn’t happen due to Covid, your deposits are refundable. To book a trip, please visit our website or contact Dave Conley for any questions you may have. Hope to see you in 2021
