We recently returned from a 5 day and 4 night wildlife photography outing in the North Maine Woods at a remote lake known for excellent moose sightings. We spotted over 20 moose 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. Several Large bull moose were photographed up close but I was no able to get those shots. Accommodations include staying in one of the 2 cabins or tenting out. Physical requirements involve getting in and out of a kayak and paddling your kayak around the small lake up to 1.5 miles and back. This outing is scheduled for June of 2025
