A wildlife and moose photography outing at a remote Maine lake. Late June is prime time for moose viewing. Last season we spotted over 20 moose on the lake and tributaries and the area was teaming with birds and other wildlife. We used Old Town Canoe solo Loon Angler 126 kayaks and paddled in small groups both early morning and late afternoon into the evenings. Accommodations include staying in one of 2 cabins or you can bring your own tent if you prefer. With new cuts on nearby ridges resulting in more feed, we expect to see the moose population in this area. Physical requirements involve getting in and out of a kayak and paddling around the small lake up to 1.5 miles and back. Note, pictures below are from last season’s outing and other previous outings at this location. Photo credits Dave Conley and Laura Zamfirescu. Next outing is scheduled for June of 2025
