We've partnered with Down East Magazine on this adventure renting two cabins on a remote Maine lake in the North Maine Woods about a 1.5 hour drive from Ashland, Maine over mostly good gravel roads. This location is known for excellent moose sightings with over 20 moose spotted last June including several big bulls! Late June is prime for seeing moose and other wildlife. The best times to be on the water are at first light and afternoon/evening in solo kayaks. The area is teaming with birds, wildlife, moose and offers great landscape photography opportunities. Physical requirements involve being able to get in and out of a kayak, paddle your kayak around the small lake 1 to 1.5 miles and back.

The fee includes meals, accommodations, North Maine Woods day use and overnight fees, transportation from Ashland and back, kayaks and assistance on and off the water from master Maine guide Dave Conley and a 2nd guide.
