Moose viewing
Moose and wildlife Photography Outing, June 22-26, 2026
We’ve partnered with Down East Magazine for a unique wildlife photography adventure in the heart of Maine’s North Maine Woods. We utilized two remote lakeside cabins on the shores of a lake renowned for its exceptional moose viewing. During this trip we had more than 60 moose sightings. Late June consistently offers some of the best opportunities to see moose, birds, and other wildlife. The best wildlife viewing and photography takes place on the water at first light and again in the late afternoon and evening. Participants explored the small lake in solo kayaks, surrounded by spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife, creating outstanding opportunities for nature and landscape photography. Below is a collection of what our photographers captured during our June 2026 outing.
