Moose and wildlife Photography Outing, June 22-26, 2026

June 28, 2026 By Dave Conley

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.

Interested in doing this outing in 2027?  More info below gallery.

Your fee includes:

  • Meals

Moose and Wildlife Photography Outing, June 24-28, 2024

July 4, 2024 By Dave Conley

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
